Andy's Frozen Custard has announced a partnership with the Missouri Boys State and American Legion Auxiliary Missouri Girls State as the first-ever corporate underwriter of its leadership development program. The program, which will take place June 24–July 1 at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, will celebrate more than 80 years of youth leadership excellence in the state of Missouri, according to a press release.

"Our company has a long history of giving back to the state of Missouri and, in particular, elementary and middle-school aged children," Andy Kuntz, CEO and owner of Andy's Frozen Custard, said in the press release. "I come from many generations of folks born, raised and educated in Missouri, and nothing brings me more joy than being able to help foster the success of our fine young students by expanding that commitment to High School students as well."

As part of the sponsorship, executives from Andy's will be taking part in the program, offering guidance about how to successfully plan for and operate a franchise business. In addition, program participants will be fueled by sweet treats from Andy's during their eight-day experience.

"Our growing company has always been committed to the future of Missouri, with many of our franchise partners and suppliers located here," Kuntz added. "To be able to recognize these high-achieving students and the educators that helped get them this far is a rewarding way for us to give back to the community that has given so much to us."
