PRAIRIE DU SAC, Wis. (WFRV) – Growing up in Wisconsin, JJ Watt always loved her Culver’s, and in August she realized her childhood dream by announcing the ‘JJ’s Way’ meal at the iconic food chain.

For every ‘JJ’s Way’ meal sold, Culver donates $1 to the JJ Watt Foundation, which supports after-school athletic programs in middle schools across the country. After 138,000 meals, Culver’s decided to show Watt and his foundation some extra love, donating a total of $150,000.
