Culver's JJ’s Way Meal is Arriving to Help Finish Off the Summer

— July 31, 2024 — Social Good
Culver's JJ’s Way Meal is being launched by the fast-casual restaurant as a menu offering created in collaboration with NFL player JJ Watt that also supports a good cause.

The meal starts off with some of Watt's go-to menu items including Culver's Deluxe with a side of Wisconsin Cheese Curds, Culver's signature root beer and a Turtle Sundae crafted with chocolate frozen custard. The meal will help support local communities with $1 from every one sold donated to the JJ Watt Foundation up to a total of $100,000. This comes hot on the news that the Foundation has amassed more than $7.1-million for after school sports programs in middle schools since its inception.

Culver's JJ’s Way Meal is making its debut at participating locations starting August 5 and will be offered through September 29, 2024.
