Helping our country’s wounded warriors is a cause we care deeply about. That’s why we are asking Cracker Barrel guests from across the U.S. to join us in supporting Wounded Warrior Project. For every picture you submit, we’ll donate $1 to Wounded Warrior Project, up to $35,000.

Here’s how you can help. Go to the front porch at any one of our Cracker Barrel locations or even your very own and take a picture. 
Be sure to:
  • Take the picture while you are seated on a porch
  • Spread your arms out as shown in the pictures above
  • Smile!

Butler College Gives Final Four Tickets to Wounded Warrior Project

The Butler basketball team will have some special guests at this weekend's Final Four in Houston.

The school donated part of its ticket allotment to the Wounded Warrior Project, a non-profit organization that provides support and assistance to former U.S. service members injured in combat.

Butler is providing eight tickets to Saturday's semifinal session as well as Monday's championship game. The recipients from the Houston area had yet to be determined as of Thursday, according to Ayla Hay, the WWP's executive vice-president for communications.

"We just have tremendous admiration for the sacrifices that our soldiers make for us all," said Butler athletics director Barry Collier.

The WWP partners regularly with the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) to provide football and basketball tickets. Around 70 schools have participated this season, the organization estimates. "Each year before the football season we send out a packet about the Wounded Warrior Project to the athletic directors," Hay said. "We were really excited to get the e-mail from Butler."

"I'm not trying to get any attention from this," Collier said. "If they want to cheer for the Bulldogs, that's OK, too, but it's certainly not part of the deal. Our nation just owes so much to these folks."
