Over the past two months, Culver’s gave guests everywhere the opportunity to eat like football superstar JJ Watt—all while giving back to a good cause in the process. As the JJ’s Way meal concludes, the restaurant chain has officially announced it will be making a $150,000 donation to the JJ Watt Foundation.
From Aug. 5 through Sept. 29, every time a guest ordered their meal JJ’s Way, Culver’s donated $1 to the JJ Watt Foundation to support after-school athletics programs at middle schools across the nation.
Culver’s sold more than 138,000 meals during the time period and ultimately decided to increase the donation to $150,000 to show appreciation for JJ’s partnership and support for his foundation’s mission.
Growing up a Culver’s fanatic in Pewaukee, Wis., Watt fulfilled a childhood dream by announcing the JJ’s Way meal at Culver’s. The meal, which included a Culver’s Deluxe, Wisconsin Cheese Curds, Culver’s Signature Root Beer and a Turtle Sundae (with Chocolate Fresh Frozen Custard), was met by enthusiastic support by guests across Culver’s 26 states.
Founded in 2011, the JJ Watt Foundation has donated over $7.1 million to support after-school athletics.
