The fast food chain has pledged to donate 40 cents from every sale of their newly released Ch’King sandwich.

The donation will be made to The Human Rights Campaign and can reach up to $250,000, or 625,000 sandwiches.

Burger King made the announcement via Twitter and added that donations would be accrued “even on Sundays.” .
