HWY55 Foundation

Hwy55 Charitable Foundation

The Hwy55 Charitable Foundation (formerly known as the Andy’s Foundation) is our most visible commitment to community involvement. In 2000, Hwy55 president and founder Kenney Moore began a golf tournament to support local charities. After several successful years, that golf tournament became a foundation to better serve a larger number of organizations within the operational area of our backyards. The Hwy 55 Charitable Foundation made its first contributions in November of 2006, and it continues to do so annually.

After 14 years of service, during which we’ve given over $1.9 million for worthy causes, Hwy55 Burgers Shakes & Fries continues to support this great organization. We look forward to continuing to impact our communities in a positive way, and we’d love for you to join us.

The Hwy55 Charitable Foundation is a 501(c)(3) and all gifts are tax-deductible.

Each year, during our fundraising season, you can visit your local Hwy55 to purchase a $1 card for the Hwy55 Foundation.
