HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - A fast food restaurant has teamed up with a young boy to raise money and awareness about the need for a diabetic alert dog.

Chick-fil-A, at the corner of University and Wynn Drive in Huntsville hosted a spirit night at the restaurant tonight.

They teamed up with 10-year-old Dylan Lancaster, who wants to raise $45,000 to buy three diabetic alert dogs.

He needs a diabetic alert dog and so do two of his classmates at Harvest Elementary.

"It's not just about me having a dog. I think everyone in the diabetic community and the world should have a diabetic alert dog," said Dylan.

A certain percentage of the dinner rush went toward his fundraiser. Dylan raised about $200.
