Big Whiskey's Fundraiser Contributes $10,000 to Convoy of Hope

November 28, 2017, Springfield MO—Following over a month of fundraising efforts in the aftermath of hurricanes Harvey and Irma, Big Whiskey’s American Restaurant & Bar® has raised $10,000 for Convoy of Hope and their continued relief efforts.

In the spirit of Giving Tuesday, and just off the heels of Thanksgiving weekend, Big Whiskey’s has a lot to be thankful for. “We are blown away by the support of our loyal customers across all our locations for this campaign,” states Big Whiskey’s Vice President of Operations, Matt Caetano. “Our staff got behind this effort from day one, and it’s awesome that we were able to raise awareness and much needed funding for Convoy of Hope.”

Big Whiskey’s has always had a commitment to partnering with local organizations aimed at making a positive impact. A Springfield neighbor, Convoy of Hope continues to work tirelessly to provide essential emergency supplies, and food and water to children and families impacted by the natural disasters this fall. In 2016, the Convoy of Hope Disaster Services team served over 900,000 victims of natural disasters, providing more than 7 million meals.

Eric Neubauer with Convoy of Hope points out, “The media coverage has settled on these tragedies, but the relief efforts and rebuilding will continue for years to come. We are beyond thankful for the support of Big Whiskey’s and the community to help us continue serving these families.”
