Golden Chick brings back Mini Funnel Cakes to raise funds for schools
October 28, 2025
Golden Chick has brought back its Mini Funnel Cakes to raise money for neighboring schools around every Golden Chick restaurant. Across its markets, Golden Chick has raised more than $300,000 for hundreds of local schools in the past two years in the communities where it operates, according to a press release.
From now through Jan. 4, 2026, guests can satisfy their sweet tooth craving and support local classrooms at the same time. For every $2.99 order of Mini Funnel Cakes, Golden Chick will donate 10% of the proceeds to schools near each of its nearly 250 restaurant locations.
"This initiative allows us to make a real difference in every community we serve," Howard Terry, chief marketing officer at Golden Chick, said in the release. "By simply enjoying one of our menu items, our guests are directly helping schools thrive. It's a simple but powerful way to show appreciation to educators and students while strengthening our ties to the neighborhoods that have always supported us. There are many worthwhile charities that other brands support, but the Golden Chick way is to support our local schools around each restaurant. One of our brand's Core Values is 'Caring,' and we feel that this program illustrates this perfectly."
The campaign extends across all Golden Chick locations in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi and Kansas.
Golden Chicken was founded in Texas in 1967. Golden Chick has more than 240 locations throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kansas and opening soon in Nevada, Arizona, Arkansas and Missouri.
