A recent fundraiser at a popular eatery raised needed funds for a local nonprofit.
Mr. G's Pizza was the site for food, fun and generosity when the Junior Auxiliary of Taney County was the beneficiary of a fundraising event.
September 25 and 26 were JATC Days at Mr. G's, as owner Ryan Holmes and the community showed their support for the service organization.
"Mr. G's owner, Ryan Holmes, continues to give back to his community on an annual basis with this fundraiser, where he donates 50% of food receipts from those two days to JATC," explained JATC's Sheryl Schiller. "This was our 10th JATC Days at Mr. G's."
Schiller continued, "Junior Auxiliary of Taney County members, their families and friends, gathered to partake of the delicious food, knowing that the children and families of Taney County would be the true beneficiaries."
JATC earned $660 from food receipts during the two-day event, and Holmes made an additional donation of $340, bringing the total received by JATC to $1,000.
Said Holmes, "I appreciate everything Junior Auxiliary does for the children in our community. These ladies work hard to make that happen."
Monies raised from this event will help support several of JATC's annual projects, including Santa's Gift House, set for December 14. Some of the group's additional projects include Tender Critters, Celebrate Reading, Kindness Effect Cards, and Steam Punk Academy. They also provide scholarships for students in each of the local high schools and provide reading materials for children in Taney County.
"JATC is more than a nonprofit organization. It is a group of women united by a single cause," said Schiller. "We are dedicated to helping and making a difference in the lives of the children in Taney County. That's the magic of JATC."
Founded in 1998, JATC has continued to grow and now has approximately 40 active members, giving more than 4,000 volunteer hours each year to help the children of our community.
