Culver's of Palatine had some extra help serving its guests during last month's Special Olympics Illinois (SOILL) fundraiser.

The first annual ButterBurgers and Badges event took place June 30 and closed out a month of fundraising for SOILL. More than 40 participating Chicagoland Culver's restaurants offered a special concrete mixer deal with $1 from each dessert sold donated to Special Olympics. Local law enforcement officers, who stopped by to serve guests throughout the night, collected tips for their table and drive-thru service, which also benefited the organization. In addition, local Special Olympics athletes were on-hand to meet and greet guests and sign autographs.

The program raised nearly $20,000 altogether for Special Olympics. Funds raised will help the organization continue its programs that provide year-round sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
