Over $104,000 Donated by Guests on Culver’s® Scoops of Thanks Day
Annual fundraiser supports local agricultural education programs
Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin – May 30, 2019– Culver’s guests showed their support in a big way for agricultural education on Culver’s Scoops of Thanks Day, donating more than $104,000. The fundraiser is part of Culver’s Thank You Farmers® Project and involved guests donating $1 in exchange for a single scoop of Fresh Frozen Custard.
The proceeds raised across Culver’s over 700 restaurants will go to local FFA chapters and other agricultural organizations.
“Each guest who bought a scoop of frozen custard helped us make a real difference in supporting local agricultural education programs,” said Jessie Kreke, senior marketing manager for Culver’s. “It’s amazing to see the support our guests show on Scoops of Thanks Day.”
The goal of Culver’s Thank You Farmers Project is to help ensure the future of our country’s food supply by supporting agricultural education programs that teach smart farming. Since 2013, the initiative has raised over $2 million in support of the National FFA Organization, local FFA chapters and a variety of local agricultural organizations.
