Celebrate Veterans in Franchising

We invite you to join this important effort in August by hosting a community event — big or small — to demonstrate your commitment to the veteran community. Whether it’s a themed party or a community BBQ, or anything in between, you’ll be helping Veterans realize their entrepreneurial dreams while showcasing your brand as a supporter of our military heroes. We believe that together, we can create meaningful, lasting impacts for Veterans and their families.

The goal of these events is to:

  • Celebrate Veterans in Franchising: Highlight the invaluable contributions and success stories of Veteran franchisees.
  • Engage Entrepreneurial Veterans: Inspire Military Connected individuals to explore franchising as a path to business ownership.
  • Educate and Inform: Provide resources and insights into the franchise business model tailored for military veterans.
  • Foster Brand Engagement: Connect our brands directly with Veterans and military communities.
  • Share Veteran Franchisee Stories: Showcase inspiring journeys and achievements.
  • Support Veteran Mentorship: Emphasize how Veterans are helping fellow Veterans succeed.
  • Build Advocacy: Strengthen the voice of Veterans in franchising and encourage broader support. Invite Veteran Franchisees to the Advocacy Summit in September!
  • Expand Our Outreach: Grow VetFran’s database by aiming for 10,000 new contacts—directly connecting more Veterans with franchise opportunities.

Here are some ideas for events you can hold in your community:

  • Education events

  • 5K/10K Run/Walk
