READING, MA &mdash; This Veterans Day season, SadieLadySecrets.com and Fuddruckers are joining forces for their annual Burgers for Benefits: Dine for a Cause fundraiser on Thursday, November 12, 2026, from 4&ndash;7 PM at Fuddruckers in Reading, MA.
This heartfelt community event will benefit Marblehead Veterans Services, supporting efforts to provide Thanksgiving meals and assistance to homeless, hungry, and struggling veterans and their families during the holiday season.
<h3>Honoring Our Veterans and Their Families</h3>
Veterans Day is more than a date on the calendar. It is a time to honor the brave men and women who served our nation and the families who sacrificed alongside them.
Our veterans are our parents, grandparents, spouses, siblings, friends, and neighbors. They are the heroes in our everyday lives, whose courage and sacrifices have helped protect the freedoms we enjoy.
Yet for some veterans and their families, the holidays bring challenges rather than celebrations. No veteran should have to worry about where their next meal will come from, especially during Thanksgiving.
Through the support of Marblehead Veterans Services and the generosity of our community, this fundraiser aims to help bring comfort, hope, and Thanksgiving meals to those who have given so much.
<h3>A Children's Book That Teaches Gratitude and Giving Back</h3>
A special part of this fundraiser is Sadie Lady and A Thanksgiving to Remember, written by award-winning children's author Stephanie Chiulli-Guillemette and illustrated by Justin Guillemette.
Featuring the beloved Beagle-Basset Hound Sadie Lady, this heartwarming story teaches children about gratitude, kindness, honoring our veterans, and the importance of helping others.
The book reminds families that Thanksgiving is about more than the food on our tables. It is about appreciating those we love, remembering those who served, and making a difference in the lives of others.
SadieLadySecrets.com will donate 20% of sales from this special book to support veterans in need.
<h3>Dine Out and Make a Difference!</h3>
Fuddruckers will also donate 20% of qualifying meal purchases during the fundraiser when guests present the event flyer to the cashier before ordering.

<h3>This Veterans Day, Let's Turn Gratitude Into Action</h3>
As Thanksgiving approaches, let us remember the veterans who may no longer be sitting at our tables, those who returned home carrying unseen struggles, and the military families who have sacrificed so much.
Our veterans stood up for us. Now it's our turn to stand up for them.
Join SadieLadySecrets.com and Fuddruckers for an evening of community, compassion, and giving back. Together, we can help make Thanksgiving a little brighter for the heroes and families who deserve our gratitude every day.
