NEW
YORK, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Long Island native, Alexa Colao won Wendy's® New York Giants Jr.
Reporter Sweepstakes and interviewed Giants Wide Receiver Darius
Slayton for the team's social media outlets. She and her family
enjoyed the ultimate touchdown of prizes which included an
exclusive tour of the Giants practice facilities and MetLife
Stadium, a signed Daniel Jones
helmet, a $500 Wendy's gift card, and
four suite level tickets to the Giants game on October 22.
Ahead of the October
22nd game, Wendy's hosted a celebratory lunch at
its American Dream location for all 10 finalists and their families
from all around the New York and
New Jersey area. The lunch was
complete with a surprise appearance by former Giants Linebacker,
Jonathan Castillas, who signed
autographs, posed for pictures, and answered questions from the
kids.
All of the kids, with help from their parents or guardian,
entered the sweepstakes using an online form via the New York
Giants website with winners chosen at random.
Sports (and a good hamburger) have a way of bringing communities
together. Wendy's is proud to continue its support of the Jr.
Reporter program that gives future sports reporters a giant
opportunity to champion their love of reporting on the game.
