When Edward Parker talked with Will Shurtliff about Buffalo Wild Wings doing a fundraiser for Williams Early Childhood Center to benefit the Snack in a Pack program, Shurtliff immediately said yes.
Buffalo Wild Wings hosted its first fundraiser for Williams to benefit Snack in a Pack with Shurtliff as its general manager on April 8, raising $735. When combined with Buffalo Wild Wings’ $300 sponsorship of Snack in a Pack, their donation totaled $1,035. Business also increased by more than 25% compared to a typical Monday at Buffalo Wild Wings.
“This is a win-win. I’m super happy about it,” Shurtliff said. “I hope that we can continue to build this partnership. I want to do whatever we can for the community. I want community outreach to be a big thing for us.”
Parker, a custodian at Williams Early Childhood Center, initially matched the $300 donation personally. He added $165 to the $735 raised that night, making his donation $465. This made the total SIAP donation $1500.
“I like round numbers,” Parker said with a smile. “I like to do what I can to help our students.”
Parker works at Williams, where Snack in a Pack is housed, and sees the 500+ meals going out each week to students who might otherwise go hungry over weekends and holidays. All of the proceeds from the Williams fundraiser went to Snack in a Pack.
“We are very grateful because Snack in a Pack is 100% donation driven and we are thankful for Will working with Edward and taking the initiative to make this something great,” said Tina Rowden, coordinator of the Community Resource Office.
To encourage Williams Early Childhood Center staff members to attend the fundraiser, Parker hosted games with prizes for them during the fundraising event.
Snack in a Pack’s typical weekend pack costs about $4 and includes two entrees, two breakfasts, a fruit or vegetable and a snack. Additional items are added for extended weekends and holidays.
If other businesses are interested in partnering to host a fundraiser with Snack in a Pack, they may contact the Community Resource Office at 573-842-2250 or email community@waynesville.k12.mo.us. #wayschools
