“We are raising money and donations for Special Olympics. We are doing that by pairing up with the wait staff and we are helping them serve the dinners to the guests as they come in. We’re clearing tables, we’re bussing the tables, and we’re accepting donations for Special Olympics. Cash, check or charge throughout the night,” Erica said.
This fundraiser was an excellent way to help give back to the community and enjoy a nice meal.
