Dream Foundation, a nonprofit that grants final dreams to terminally ill adults, received support from Carl's Jr. and Hardee's fifth annual Stars for Heroes fundraiser. The fundraiser has raised over $3.5 million since 2011 for organizations supporting active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. In 2015, Dream Foundation's Dreams for Veterans program, which grants final wishes to veterans across the US, benefited from donations generated by the Stars for Heroes campaign.
