From June 30 to August 6, get a collector’s mug for $10 and support DAV. 100% of mug proceeds* will be donated to DAV in support of its mission. DAV is a nonprofit that assists over one million veterans and their families each year through a range of no-cost services. Visit your local A&W to learn more and make a donation.
Our commitment to U.S. service members traces back more than a century, starting with a humble Root Beer Stand serving frosty mugs to World War I heroes. A lot has changed since those early days, but much remains the same. On National Root Beer Float Day, we honor our roots by continuing to provide support to those who serve. Through our partnership with DAV, we proudly carry forward our salute to service. Can’t make it to a restaurant? You can donate online anytime and help make a difference year-round.
*For each mug purchased during the collection period, 6/30/2025-8/6/2025, ten dollars ($10.00) will be collected to be donated to DAV (Disabled American Veterans) on or before October 31, 2025. Fair Market Value of the mug is two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50). This purchase is not tax-deductible to the purchaser.
