During the month of May, The Shwack Bar & Grill held a fundraiser for Broderick Montessori and collected a total of $1,529.
During a chamber meeting, Broderick Montessori Administrator Palin Harrington and Devin Sinner, The Shwack general manager, met and discussed the school in need of a fundraiser due to financial distress.
“We started talking about it, and told our families about the fundraiser and people in town started to hear about it,” Harrington said. “It was awesome.”
On Mondays in May, The Shwack donated 15 percent of proceeds that came in and donated it to the school.
“When we found out Broderick was in need of help, holding a fundraiser at Shwack seemed like a no brainer,” said Sinner.
Broderick Montessori is a preschool through third grade elementary school that’s located off Del Prado. “We’re so thankful and grateful they could raise that amount of money,” Harrington said. “It was the difference of making payroll for the end of the year.”
The Shwack has held fundraisers before for Capo Valley Christian School, Dana Hills Instrumental Music Foundation and more.
Sinner said Max Fisher, the proprietor of The Shwack, is a Dana Hills High School Graduate and likes to support local charities and educational institutions.
“It’s so nice to have businesses want to help like Shwack did,” Sinner said.
