Medieval Times Schaumburg Participates in Military Appreciation Month in May
(Schaumburg, IL) April 24, 2015-Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament in Schaumburg, IL will be showing patriotic pride by participating in "Military Appreciation Month" in May.
As part of the company's "Chivalry in Action" initiative for May, the Chicago location will be supporting the military by partnering with "Operation Gratitude", an Encino, California-based nonprofit, volunteer-based corporation which annually sends 150,000+ care packages filled with snacks, entertainment, hygiene and hand-made items, plus personal letters of appreciation, to new recruits, veterans and first responders among other recipients.

During May, the Chicago castle will host a collection drive for guests to donate much needed items such as old cell phones, scarves, knit hats, black socks, energy bars, DVDs, beef jerky, razors, travel-size wipes and hand sanitizer. Medieval Times will offer a special discounted rate of $35 for all seats for those guests who bring a suggested donated item.
In thanks for their service, Medieval Times will invite 25 local active/retired military families to enjoy a special evening of a dinner and a show.
"Medieval Times is proud of our military: our true knights in shining armor," says Sandy Maldonado-Martinez, Marketing Manager. "We would like to give back to these men and women who give so much to our country."
