Culver's of Buffalo Grove Supports Special Olympics With 'ButterBurgers & Badges' Fundraiser August 9

Culver's in Buffalo Grove is partnering with Special Olympics Illinois this August with several in-store activities planned, most notably the 2nd annual 'ButterBurgers & Badges' fundraising event scheduled for Tuesday, August 9, 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 at the 450 McHenry Rd. location.

The officers will collect tips for their service, which along with one dollar for every purchase of any size 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 45 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 Kevin Weasler, owner of Culver's of Buffalo Grove. "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. Culver's will support Special Olympics throughout the month of August by displaying 'Change for Champions' canisters near its registers where guests will have the opportunity to offer their support.
