CULVER’S FUNDRAISER…CONGRATULATIONS TO FOLLETT!!!!




CULVER’S PARTNERS WITH JDRF IN FUNDRAISING EFFORT

Culver's Restaurant, located at 1101 Adams Drive, is teaming up with JDRF Illinois to host "The Family Mini Mix Up" from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday February 16.  JDRF is the international leader in Diabetes Type 1 research.  The event will seek to raise funds but also awareness and support for diabetes research.  If you plan on dining out this week-why not go on Thursday or you can go for dessert.  Culver’s will also donate $1 of every $2 spent on mini Concrete Mixers, and the specially-priced Concrete Mixers will last the entire day on Thursday February 16.
Culver’s is a wonderful and great example of a responsible model corporate citizen.  If you would like to learn more about funding for diabetes research please visit www.jdrf.org.  Thank you Culver’s!
