Chicken brand Golden Chick will donate 50 cents from each sale of its State Fair Mini Funnel Cakes to support fundraising projects through DonorsChoose. Fundraising runs through Oct. 29, according to a press release.

Money raised during the campaign will support local schools and teachers. It's Golden Chick's first system-wide philanthropic initiative.

"This is the first time we've engaged all of our individual restaurants and franchise partners to partake in an initiative like this and we are proud to support the dedicated educators in our local communities," Howard Terry, Golden Chick's CMO, said in the press release. "Through the platform, our team is able to connect with teachers at a hyper-local level, enabling us to give back to these schools and form lasting relationships."

The campaign runs across the brand's 216 locations.

"Golden Chick has always been proud of being a hyper-local brand that has supported our communities and our schools around each restaurant," Mark Parmerlee, Golden Chick CEO, said. "This Fall's charity partnership is a wonderful example of our heritage of giving back."

Golden Chick was founded in 1967.
