Last week, Buffalo Rock was honored to be part of PepsiCo's annual Rolling Remembrance event. It marks our fourth year hosting this stop along the 8,000+ mile-long relay of an American flag from Seattle to New York that benefits the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation. The ceremony was an inspiring time for Buffalo Rock's Employee-Partners, local veterans, and community officials to unite to celebrate our veterans and their families. 💙

So proud of our Employee-Partners and the work they do to serve our communities! 💙 Huge kudos to Grace Ruzic and the Newnan franchise!
