RC Group Leaves ‘No Stone Left Un-Turned’

RC Group’s Beaumont, Texas, Buffalo Wild Wings^® location hosted a fundraiser March 30, benefiting the No Stone Left Un-Turned Corp, a 501c3 nonprofit organization that covers the costs of placing veteran headstones when the family of the fallen veteran is unable to do so. The government covers funeral, burial and provides the headstone for veterans. However, if they are not buried in a military cemetery, it is up to the family to cover placement cost of the headstone. The Eat Wings, Raise Funds (EWRF) event donated 15 percent of sales from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. that Wednesday. Through donations and daily sales, over $1,200 was raised for the organization to provide the honorable mark our veterans and their families deserve.

“As a franchise owner, I strive to give back to my community in any and all ways possible. This event for No Stone Left Un-Turned afforded us the opportunity to give back to those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We take every opportunity possible to put funds back into our community and to show our gratitude to our loyal fans,” said RC Group Franchisee Chris Olexa.

From 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., several local musicians – two of which are veterans themselves, one being a Purple Heart recipient for injuries he received twice in combat – came out to provide live music on the patio for guests to enjoy. No Stone Left Un-Turned Charity Founder Lee Pelly, a guitarist himself, also took the stage to provide entertainment for all B-Dubs^® guests to enjoy.

There was a great turnout from the community, as well as from veterans in the nearby area that came out to support their fellow comrades. RC Group even provided meals for several homeless veterans who attended the event to see the effort the community was making to give back to their fallen comrades.
