FLINT, MI - Believe it or not, Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond didn't create his signature Halo Burger to flex his muscles as an athlete.

The Dre Burger was made for a cause.

On Wednesday, Halo Burger announced that the partnership has raised $5,070.65 from Drummond's burger sales in May to benefit the Special Olympics of Flint.

Halo Burger donated $1 from each of the 2,891 Dre Burgers sold - plus collected another $2,179.65 in donations - for a total of $5,070.65.

Drummond is Halo Burgers's first spokesman and ambassador.

On Saturday, May 6, the one-time NBA All-Star visited the Fenton location for the official launch of his creation. He handed out 100 burgers, conducted a hoops clinic and enjoyed bounce house fun with fans.

His burger is being sold for $4.99.

"I am proud of my ongoing involvement with the Special Olympics of Flint, and thrilled that together with Halo Burger, we were able to raise over $5,000 for them," Drummond said. "They do so much for their athletes and the community. I'm also happy we sold so many Dre Burgers.

"I think people like them."
