<br /><br />Chick-fil-A is known for the exclusively <strong>Christian music that is played in its restaurants</strong> as well as being one of the few national businesses to close on Sunday, with no exceptions. Cathy also reflects his Christian faith philanthropically. <br /><br />Mr. Cathy used his business success to first start a scholarship program, and later a retreat center both of which go by the name "WinShape" to reflect their goal of shaping/winning students, business people, and traditional marriages. <br /><br />Chick-fil-A's stated corporate purpose is:</p>
<blockquote><strong>To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us.</strong></blockquote>
<blockquote><strong>To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.</strong></blockquote>
<p>The principles that Chick-fil-A is built on are obviously a strong foundation as the chain consists of over 1,500 locations in 39 states as well as Washington, D.C. <br /><br /><strong>Take Action <br /><br /><a href="http://outbound.afa.net/track?type=click&amp;mailingid=chickfila&amp;messageid=chickfila&amp;databaseid=1234&amp;serial=1273161479&amp;emailid=jhbrake@comcast.net&amp;userid=21267818&amp;fl=&amp;extra=MultivariateId=&amp;&amp;&amp;102&amp;&amp;&amp;http//secure.afa.net/afa/activism/TakeAction.asp?id=390" style="color: #1b57b1; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal; ">Send an email to Chick-fil-A chairman and founder Truett Cathy</a>.</strong> Let him know you appreciate his Christian company, and his stand for family values.</p>
