At Eat’n Park, one of our primary areas of philanthropic focus is enhancing the lives of military veterans and their families. As part of this commitment, we are excited to announce that we’re sponsoring a soon-to-be service dog who will be matched with a veteran after its training!

To help celebrate the newest member of our Eat'n Park family, we asked our team members to help us name her! Over 200 suggestions were submitted, but we just couldn’t decide. So, we asked our Facebook family, and after 3,500 votes, our new furry friend was named Parker!
