Regional brand pledges portion of Mini Funnel Cake sales to Childress schools
CHILDRESS — Golden Chicken, known for its Original Golden Tenders, hand-breaded chicken and Southern staples, is heading into the back-to-school season with a focus on the sweeter things in life. The regional brand will be donating $0.50 from each sale of its State Fair Mini Funnel Cakes to support fundraising projects through DonorsChoose, including schools in each individual trade area around every restaurant, which includes 216 communities. The promotion will run through Sunday, Oct. 29.
The proceeds garnered from the campaign will be used to support the communities Golden Chick’s restaurants, franchisees and loyal customers call home. The funds dispersed at the end of the campaign throughout each Golden Chick restaurant will support projects posted directly by local schools and teachers, funding classroom supplies and larger pieces of classroom equipment, like desks and chairs, as well as athletic equipment and field trip passes.
“This is the first time we’ve engaged all of our individual restaurants and franchise partners to partake in an initiative like this, and we are proud to support the dedicated educators in our local communities,” Golden Chick Chief Marketing Officer Howard Terry said. “Through the platform, our team is able to connect with teachers at a hyper-local level, enabling us to give back to these schools and form lasting relationships.
