Culver's of St. Charles to host West Chicago police for 'ButterBurgers & Badges' benefit Aug. 29
Culver's restaurants throughout Northern Illinois are partnering with Special Olympics Illinois this August with several in-store activities planned. Most notably the fifth annual "ButterBurgers & Badges" fundraising event from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29.
'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.
Law enforcement officers will collect donations for their service. One dollar for every purchase of any size Culver's Concrete Mixer will benefit Special Olympics. Also, Special Olympics Illinois athletes will be on-site to meet and greet guests.
"ButterBurgers & Badges" is part of a month-long initiative by select Culver's locations across the Chicago area 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 St. Charles owner Kris Callahan. "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."
