SHARE NIGHTS

Your cause. Our kitchen. One great night.

A Share Night turns your supporters into dinner guests — and dinner into a donation.
You bring the people. We bring the ButterBurgers. Your organization takes home a share of the night.

Proof it works

One Monday night in Grand Haven

On Monday, November 9, the Tri-Cities Kids League held their Share Night at our sister store, Culver's of Grand Haven. Their volunteers put on aprons and pitched in — running food, greeting families, telling their story table to table — while a portion of every sale went straight to the league.

That's the whole recipe: a cause people love, a room full of their own supporters, and a night that feels like a celebration instead of a fundraiser. The Kids League did it in Grand Haven. Now it's Muskegon's turn — your organization can do it here.

What a Share Night is

Pick your night

Share Nights run Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings, 5 to 8 PM, at Culver's of Muskegon on Independence Drive. Book a few weeks ahead — the calendar fills by season.

Rally your people

You announce the night to your own world — your members, families, followers, and friends. Culver's backs you with posters and the marquee. Your turnout is your result.

Work the room

Your adult volunteers wear aprons, run food to the dining room and the drive-thru, clear tables, and greet every guest. Your cause gets a face, a voice, and a story — all night long.

How the money works

Culver's donates a percentage of your night's sales to your organization. The ladder is simple — the more your night sells, the higher your share climbs. Your promotion is what moves you up it.

10%
of your night's sales —
a solid night with your core supporters
15%
of your night's sales —
your promotion reaches the whole community
20%
of your night's sales —
a packed house, dining room and drive-thru

And on top of the percentage, your guests can give directly — a donation QR at the event lets anyone add a gift to your cause on the spot.

The steps that fill the room

1

Book your night

Tell us your organization, your cause, and your preferred Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. We confirm your date, and your runway begins.

2

Gather your people

Collect the names and numbers of your supporters and invite them personally. A personal invitation fills more seats than any poster.

3

Promote it everywhere

Post it, share it, put it in your newsletter and your press releases. Every guest who walks in because of you raises your night's sales — and your share.

4

Show up in aprons

Bring your adult volunteers, dressed alike and ready to serve. Run food, greet guests, work the dining room and the drive-thru, and tell your story all evening.

5

Collect — and be counted

After your night, your organization receives its share, and your night joins the Share Night directory — so every future night promotes yours, too.

What you get beyond the check

The dollars matter. But ask any group that has run one: the night itself is worth more. For three hours, your cause is the center of the community's attention — new faces learn your mission, lapsed supporters feel the pull again, and your volunteers go home prouder than they arrived.

Awareness extends the life of an organization. A Share Night buys you a room full of it — and a story your people will retell until the next one.
