SOUTH HAVEN, MI : Community members have a delicious opportunity to support local history this Wednesday, March 4, 2026 as Culver’s of South Haven teams up with the Michigan Flywheelers Museum for a special benefit night to raise funds for the museum’s $100,000 Challenge Grant.
From 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Culver’s will donate a portion of all sales directly to the museum’s grant.
The museum was recently awarded a prestigious $100,000 Challenge Grant, which serves as a "match" to jumpstart the construction of a brand-new museum entrance which will include a ticket booth and gift shop. This project represents Phase 1 of a transformative new entrance designed to modernize the visitor experience.
"This grant is a huge milestone for us, but we can only unlock its full potential with the community’s help," said Patrick Ingalls, president of the museum. "Partnering with Culver’s allows our supporters to contribute to the future of the museum just by enjoying a meal with their families and friends.“
Museum members will be on hand to deliver food to guests both in the dining room and at curbside pickup. An information table will be set up inside the restaurant featuring membership applications and more information on the project.
Both dine-in and takeout orders are eligible for the fundraiser.
Not able to make it to Culver's on Wednesday, but would like to support the fundraiser? Donations can be mailed to: MFM, 64958 M43, Bangor MI 49013 or on our website: www.michiganflywheelers.org.
