FENTON, Mich. (WXYZ) -- Pistons center Andre Drummond launched the "Dre Burger" Saturday at a Halo Burger event.

Sales of the burger, which Drummond created himself, will benefit Special Olympics Flint. During the month of May, Special Olympics Flint will receive one dollar from each "Dre Burger" sold.

"When I was growing up, you'd see people on Wheaties boxes (or) their own cereal, different types of food," said Drummond. "For me now, being 23 and having my own burger, not too many people can say that."

Drummond added he's grateful for the opportunity to give back to Flint, and bring positive attention to the Flint community.
