Crawfish Charity Boil – Steaming Results to Feed Seniors
|
8/9/09 Recently, The Hail Mary Sports Pub in Grayson raised
more than $2,500 to benefit Gwinnett County Senior Services’
non-profit partner, Friends of Gwinnett County Senior Services
(Friends). Even though they have supported other local worthwhile causes
in the past, this was their first fundraising effort to help the
older population. The Crawfish Boil for Charity was a great
success and monies will help support meals service for Gwinnett
seniors. Hail Mary General Manager Blake Hawkins proudly stated, “We
are in the restaurant business, so we wanted to do something to
help homebound seniors who might not be able to come in and
dine. We could not have made this happen without Master Chef Ray
Sessions and some of our vendors. We are honored to help our
‘greatest generation’.” This year, Friends contributed more than $33,000 to
supplement senior meals costs. Friends President Pam Tokarz
said, “We do not want to lose any opportunity to feed our needy
or frail seniors.” For more information on Friends’ fundraising efforts or to
make a donation to help feed a senior, please make a tax
deductible donation to Friends of Gwinnett County Senior
Services, P.O. Box 390025, Snellville, GA 30039 or contact Celia
