Eat, Drink, And Be Generous!

Every Tuesday Jammy Buggers, 15625 Detroit Rd, offers up “Pay It Forward Tuesdays” with 15% of your tab going to a featured beneficiary. This is way beyond stupendous in and of itself, but even more stupendous is that on July 29th the featured beneficiary is the Lakewoodalive’s Lakewood Pride Fund. 

LakewoodAlive has great pride in the community that we serve and works to connect residents to available resources that meet their home repair needs. Unfortunately, there are times when we are unable to assist clients due to their inability to qualify for a conventional bank loan. Not only does the client suffer because they are unable to secure the funds necessary to repair their home, the entire neighborhood is affected by a home that is falling into disrepair.

In response to this increasing issue, LakewoodAlive has kicked off the “Lakewood Pride Fund” initiative. The Pride Fund is a collection of private dollars that will allow LakewoodAlive to be a co-signer on home repair loans for approved clients. We will work diligently over the next eighteen months to raise $150,000 to support the fund and will reach out to community members, banks and foundations to help us achieve our goal. With these dollars, we will be able to assist homeowners in-need as well while preserving the pride in our neighborhoods, and help to keep Lakewood alive and thriving. We need your help to grow the fund and support our friends and neighbors.

If helping you neighbors and friends is something you want to do, or if helping to restore your street and neighborhood is something that interests you, or if having a means to finance repairs to a home, no matter what your income, when other means are not an option is a great idea, or if you are just feeling a mite peckish, then please join us at Jammy Buggers on the 29th all day and into the evening. Have a business lunch that day? Is there a friend you haven’t seen in some time? Wanting to celebrate your softball team’s victory? Come on down and just say “I support Lakewoodalive” and 15% of your bill will go toward the Lakewood Pride Fund.

We will be there with all our friends and we hope to see EVERYONE there. We want to see the largest check ever in the history of Pay It Forward Tuesdays delivered to Lakewoodalive’s Lakewood Pride Fund. Remember Lunch Dinner or Bedtime snacks, any time is good for you to have a great time and help the Lakewood Pride Fund.
