Monroe: Culver's Day of Giving fundraiser is March 5
Placeholder Image
MONROE - In conjunction with National Red Cross Month, Culver's of Monroe will donate 10 percent of sales on Wednesday, March 5, to the local American Red Cross Chapter during the annual system-wide "Day of Giving" fundraising event.

Guests can enhance the total Red Cross contribution by giving personal donations in canisters available at stores throughout the week.

Building on last year's success, the more than 370 Culver's restaurants fundraising goal for the one-day event is $175,000.

Culver's and the American Red Cross are holding the event during National Red Cross Month to celebrate and reflect upon the work of the Red Cross in communities throughout America. It is also a time when Americans are encouraged to take steps to prepare for emergencies, take CPR and first aid training, to volunteer their time, give blood, and financially support the programs and services of the Red Cross.

Culver's was recently recognized with the Circle of Humanitarian Award from the Red Cross for the substantial support that the company and its franchise partners provided in 2007.

The support from Culver's locally owned and operated restaurants range from offering training courses, hosting blood drives, distributing educational materials, hosting local fundraisers and providing food to first responder and local disaster victims.
