Guests can stop by any participating Kangaroo Express on Tuesday, July 23 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. to pick up a 25-cent Ball Park® hot dog. Paired with a RooCup refill, guests can pick up a dog and a drink for just 50 cents.

The hot dog has long been a part of iconic American celebrations and pastimes, including Independence Day and summer baseball games. Pairing perfectly with American pride, Kangaroo Express guests can enjoy their Ball Park® hot dog while supporting the military men and women who protect our freedom by donating to the Salute Our Troops® campaign.
"We are inspired by the overwhelming generosity of our guests and are proud to support the military community all year long," said Joe Venezia, senior vice president of operations, Kangaroo Express. "We invite our guests to help us add a patriotic flair to National Hot Dog Day by enjoying an all-American classic and supporting the troops who protect our freedom every day."
Donations from the campaign will support the USO, lifting the spirits of America's troops and their families; Fisher House Foundation, donating "comfort homes" at major military and VA medical centers that enable military families to be close to a loved one during hospitalization; as well as eight state-based military support organizations.
Since its inaugural year in 2011, the Salute Our Troops campaign has raised $5.7 million dollars, breaking fundraising records for many beneficiary organizations, including two of the most accomplished grassroots campaigns the USO has been involved in during its more than 70-year history.
