Evergreen Park Culver's To Support Special Olympics Illinois With 'ButterBurgers & Badges' Event

Evergreen Park’s Culver’s is among the many select locations throughout the Chicago area partnering with Special Olympics Illinois for the inaugural ButterBurgers & Badges fundraising event Tuesday, June 30, from 5 to 9 p.m. at 9515 South Kedzie Avenue, Evergreen Park.

ButterBurgers & Badges will feature local police 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 Evergreen Park 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 the Chicago that includes participating stores proudly displaying ‘Change for Champions’ donation canisters near counter areas.

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 continue its support of Special Olympics throughout the month as 15 athletes from Illinois head to Los Angeles for the World Games in July.

“We’re excited to partner with Culver’s this month on the Change for Champions and ButterBurgers and Badges event,” says Dave Breen, Special Olympics Illinois president and CEO. “We appreciate the support they’re providing for the Special Olympics athletes of Illinois, and we look forward to a very successful event and partnership with such a wonderful organization.”
