Del Taco will serve three new Independence Poppers beverages through July 12 as part of a fundraising campaign to support wounded veterans and their families.

The new lineup of red, white and blue beverages includes Independence Lemonade Poppers, Independence Sprite Poppers and Independence Mini Shake Poppers. The beverages all feature popping boba pearls.

The additional options are part of an effort to raise money through a partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation that will include a minimum $20,000 donation. Del Taco guests also are encouraged to contribute to the foundation.

“It’s an honor to work with the Gary Sinise Foundation and play a part in the important work they do to positively impact the live of those who have sacrificed so much for our country,” said
Tim Hackbardt, chief marketing officer of Del Taco. “We are proud to show our appreciation and gratitude and hope to raise awareness for this great cause.”

Founded by actor Gary Sinise, the foundation offers programs and initiatives to help military service members, veterans and first responders.

“We are incredibly grateful for Del Taco’s partnership to support our mission of honoring our nation’s veterans, defenders, heroes and first responders, along with their families, who have sacrificed so much,” said Donna Palmer, executive director of the Gary Sinise Foundation.

Del Taco serves both Mexican and American fare to more than 3 million guests a week at a total of 600 restaurants in 15 states. In the Grand Valley, Del Taco restaurants are located at 2878 North Ave. and 2513 S. U.S. Highway 50.
