Culver's of Island Lake and McHenry Supports Special Olympics With 'ButterBurgers & Badges' Fundraiser

Culver's of Island Lake, (203 East State Rd.) and McHenry (1101 Adams Dr.) are partnering with Special Olympics Illinois this August with several in-store activities planned, most notably the 3rd annual 'ButterBurgers & Badges' fundraising event on Thursday, August 10, from 4-8 p.m.

ButterBurgers & Badges will feature local law enforcement officers providing table service for guests dining inside, and also delivering the chain's famed burgers and fresh frozen custard desserts to those visiting the drive-thru.

The officers will collect tips for their service, which along with one dollar for every purchase of any size Culver's Concrete Mixer, will benefit Special Olympics. In addition, local Special Olympics athletes will be on-hand to meet and greet guests and sign autographs.

ButterBurgers & Badges is part of a month-long initiative by more than 30 Culver's locations across Chicagoland that includes participating stores proudly displaying 'Change for Champions' donation canisters near counter areas.

"Culver's is proud to partner with Special Olympics Illinois," says Culver's of Island Lake and McHenry owner Sean Sulllivan. "Many of our restaurants currently employ team members who are also Special Olympic athletes, and that brings us an even closer connection to this great organization."

Funds raised will help Special Olympics Illinois continue its programs that provide year-round sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. This event continues its support of Special Olympics.
