The Whitewater Culver’s, along with nearly seventy others across Wisconsin, is raising money to support victims of the recent shooting at Abundant Life Christian School (ALCS) in Madison. A teacher and student were killed Dec. 16 when another student opened fire during a study period at the school. The shooter then turned the gun on themselves, police say. Six others were injured.
“Make Your Meal Matter” Day will take place Monday, Jan. 6, to support the ALCS Emergency and Recovery Fund. Each participating restaurant is establishing the portion of its sales that will be donated.
Other area participating restaurants include Delavan, Elkhorn, Fort Atkinson, and Lake Geneva.
“So many organizations and businesses stepping up to help our school, our students, our staff, and our families. We are grateful,” the school wrote on its Facebook page.
According to the Wisconsin State Journal, the funds will be donated to United Way of Dane County’s fund to support Abundant Life Christian School families. “Abundant Life’s principal has said the priorities will be first, to help the families who lost loved ones; then, to support the medical expenses of those injured; and finally, to use the remaining funds to provide for the mental health needs of the school community,” per the article.
