Crete Dairy Queen raising money for nonprofit helping with school expenses

CRETE, Neb. (KLKN) — Dairy Queen is donating some its earnings at its Crete location to help underprivileged kids with school expenses.

Ten percent of sales between 4 and 7 p.m. Thursday will be going to the 4 Mile Foundation.

The program was originally started to help kids pay for school bus fees.

In Nebraska, any child living within 4 miles of their school has to pay for school bus pickup, while those living outside the radius get transportation for free.

The 4 Mile Foundation has now branched out to helping with other school expenses.

If you want to support the cause, The 4 Mile Foundation will be having fundraisers throughout the summer in Crete.
