“McHero of the Year” is one of Welburn Management’s signature awards. This award is bestowed upon a first responder in the community who has been recognized for service that goes above and beyond their usual responsibilities. The honor is commemorated with an exclusive superhero McCape. The award was established to recognize the hard work and dedication provided by our local public service employees who put themselves in harm’s way to keep us all safe. It is designed as a thank you and to let them know that their bravery and heroism has not gone unnoticed.

First Responder “Fry”days

We continue our quest to say Thank You to local first responders near our restaurants with our First Responder “Fry”day events. On First Responder “Fry”days we deliver lunch to our local law enforcement or fire station. These brave men and women risk their lives each and every day for the local community. It is the least we can do to show our appreciation.

SCHOOLS

Through McTeacher Nights (fundraiser nights), student rewards and teacher incentive programs we strive to encourage education and assist schools with their ever decreasing budgets. We currently support more than 150 local schools across our restaurants cities/counties in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC through a wide variety of arrangements.

McTeacher of the Year Award

“McTeacher of the Year” is another one of Welburn Management’s signature awards. It is presented to a teacher that has been recognized by their school and county for being the type of teacher who motivates, encourages and shapes his or her students in a way that demands recognition. McTeachers of the Year engage students in a unique way. They guide them with passion, inspiration and enthusiasm. They are patient, kind and dedicated to developing their students and in many cases spend additional time after the bell rings, making it happen.

Workday “Perk”-Days

Our Workday “Perk”-Day events are our way of bringing a little joy to local teachers who work so hard to educate, guide and inspire children each day. We bring hot coffee and warm cookies to “PERK” them up half way through their day. Teacher workdays (or in-service days) are usually filled with piles of papers to grade, meetings and training classes. These Workday – “Perk”-Days brought smiles to their faces and provided a much needed playful break.
