PHILADELPHIA–Celebrity chef Robert Irvine helped kick off a $700,000 WaWa fundraising campaign for the USO and make a few tons of hoagies in the process.
For every Hero Hoagie sold through July 4, Wawa will donate $1 to the USO.
“The USO is a fantastic, amazing organization that deserves all of our support,” said Irvine, who spent his morning building and delivering thousands of his signature hoagies to active duty military, veterans and first responders in the Philadelphia area.

You can send a message of support and thanks directly to service members via the USO’s Campaign to Connect. Your messages will appear on screens at USO locations around the world.
Every day, America’s service members selflessly put their lives on the line to keep us safe and free. Please take a moment to let our troops know how much we appreciate their service and sacrifice.
