WISCONSIN — In a powerful display of community support, Culver's restaurants across the state raised $165,000 on Jan. 6 to benefit families who were impacted by the tragic school shooting at Abundant Life Christian School (ALCS).
Eighty Culver's locations participated in the fundraiser, donating a portion of their sales that day to the cause.
In a release, Culver's said that many guests waited longer than usual for food, showing their support for their community.
“We’re so thankful to every guest who joined us to support their neighbors at Abundant Life Christian School and to each team member who helped serve them,” said Culver’s co-founder Craig Culver. "We're passionate about making delicious food, but really, we're in the people business—so when our communities need a place to gather to rally around their neighbors in need, we're extremely proud to welcome them."
The proceeds were donated directed to the United Way of Dane County's ALCS Emergency and Recovery Fund.
