Culver's Contributions Surpass $100,000 in Support for Farmers as 'Green and Gold' Hits Streaming Milestone

Culver's Proudly Donates $100,000 to Farmers through 'Green and Gold' Streaming Success

This year has been especially rewarding for Culver's, a beloved national restaurant chain, as they've taken significant steps to support the agricultural community. Earlier this year, fans of both the restaurant and the movie 'Green and Gold' were encouraged to participate in a unique initiative. For every rental and digital purchase of the film, Culver's pledged to donate $1, targeting a maximum of 100,000 streams, all aimed at supporting family farmers.

The film, which tells the story of Buck, portrayed by Craig T. Nelson, a determined Wisconsin dairy farmer, symbolically represents the struggles and triumphs of farming life. As it turned out, the film's debut exceeded expectations, hitting the crucial streaming milestone of 100,000 views. In light of this achievement, Culver's announced a donation of $100,000 to multiple agricultural organizations dedicated to enhancing the livelihoods of farmers and their families.

Among the notable recipients are:

1. Farmer Angel Network - A grassroots initiative that provides essential support for farmers' well-being through community events and educational resources.
2. Farm Foundation-led Farm Family Wellness Alliance - This organization focuses on wellness and mental health services, extending much-needed help to farmers and their families in distress.
3. National FFA Organization - Aiming to prepare young leaders in agriculture wisely, this foundation offers educational experiences and hands-on learning to shape the next generation of agricultural professionals.

Culver's director and co-writer of 'Green and Gold,' Anders Lindwall, expressed gratitude for the film's impact, stating, 'We’re honored that 'Green and Gold' resonated with audiences so much that it made Culver’s donation not only possible, but incredibly significant.' It's a heartfelt testament to the hard work and creativity involved in shaping a story that genuinely connects with the community.

Since launching its Thank You Farmers® Project in 2013, Culver's has committed itself to supporting agricultural education and rural communities, raising over $6.5 million to date. Alison Demmer, Culver's senior public relations manager, emphasized this sentiment, noting that the initiative's core focuses on giving back to farmers who feed the community and bringing attention to their important stories.

The movie 'Green and Gold' explores themes of family, resilience, and the agricultural way of life at a time when those very aspects are critical. Its journey into streaming covers not just entertainment but also advocacy for farmers and the moments that define their existence.

As 'Green and Gold' enjoys its current availability across major streaming platforms, Culver's reflects on its ongoing commitment to the agricultural community, reinforcing its dedication through acts like these, compelling customers everywhere to support local agricultural initiatives. This unique collaboration between the film and the restaurant chain shows how storytelling can lead to positive action in society.
