So the word is that as a result of the NBA Lockout, Dwyane Wade is asking on Twitter if anyone is hiring. He also “I’m available for all bar and bat mitzvah and weddings..but my specialty is balloon animals.” Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) gave the all-star NBA player the opportunity to work a drive thru window at the restaurant for charity, the charity will receive $250,000. KFC is smart to do a fundraiser like this because it gets their restaurant a lot of exposure and it's for a good cause.
Here's the letter where KFC is asking Wade to join them:
I hope Wade does this because it's creative and I think it would be a good look for him and who knows the charity could make a huge difference.Dear Dwyane Wade,We couldn’t help but notice your recent tweet about looking for a new line of work in light of the lockout. We’re always looking for folks with precisely your qualifications — initiative, teamwork and the ability to make buckets in a hurry.We’ve always been proud to call you a former KFC employee and, it goes without saying we’d love to have you back on our team dishing out the World’s Best Chicken, like you dish out assists on the court.Our offer: Come serve as an honorary captain at a local KFC drive-thru window. And, while we can’t match your most recent salary, we’ll honor your KFC service by making a donation in your name to Colonel’s Scholars, a charity providing young people with much needed college scholarships, if you accept. How’s that for a slam dunk?So let us know if you’re ready to suit up for our squad (as you’ll remember, we’ve got some pretty cool uniforms). Our original coach, the legendary Colonel Sanders, knew a thing or two about buckets. And who knows, if you make a KFC-team comeback, we might just share some of his secrets with you.We’ll keep your headset waiting.Sincerely,John Cywinski
