Culver's says its 'Scoops of Thanks Day' held last month raised $159,480 for agricultural education. The Wisconsin-based restaurant chain announced that nearly 800 restaurants served thousands of servings of frozen custard on May 6 in exchange for a small donation to the FFA.
Proceeds raised from the event will benefit local or state FFA chapters or other agricultural organizations selected by each restaurant.
"Scoops of Thanks Day began as an annual fundraiser in 2015 and has since raised a total of more than $650,000," said Company Spokesperson Marcie Waters. "The special day is part of Culver's Thank You Farmers Project, which works to support agricultural education programs that teach smart farming."
Scoops of Thanks Day is part of the Culver's 'Thank You Farmers' program, an initiative that recognizes all farmers for their hard work and dedication in growing and producing the wholesome food that feeds our nation. To date, the program has raised over a million dollars in support of the National FFA Organization and Foundation, local FFA chapters and a variety of local agricultural organizations.
