Chick-fil-A Fundraiser (Spirit Night)
Quick answer
A Chick-fil-A Spirit Night lets your school, team, or nonprofit earn a percentage of sales (often ~15–20%) when supporters eat at a set date and mention your group. Book it with your local Operator several weeks ahead and promote it with flyers and social posts.
How a Spirit Night works
- Contact your local Chick-fil-A and ask for the fundraiser/Spirit Night coordinator.
- Pick a date and confirm the percentage and time window with the Operator.
- Promote it — flyers, email, and social posts telling supporters to mention your group.
- Supporters order during the window and mention the fundraiser so sales count.
- The restaurant sends a check for the agreed percentage of eligible sales.
Tips to raise more
- Promote early and often — the more supporters, the bigger the check.
- Remind everyone to mention your group when they order.
- Pick a busy-but-not-overwhelmed evening, often 5:00–8:00 PM.
- Ask whether mobile orders and catering count toward your total.
