Giving Tuesday: American Legion

Pub, Grub, and Good Deeds

This past Giving Tuesday, the air was buzzing with generosity. 

From the moment we opened our doors on October 7th to the last call, the pub was filled with patrons eager to enjoy a meal and contribute to the cause. It was a day where every pint of beer and every plate of fish & chips directly helped local veterans. This wasn’t just a fundraiser; it was a community celebration of service and gratitude. 

We brought the community together in an incredible display of support, the Pig & Whistle will be donating $3,500, to the American Legion Indian River Post 22, located in Cocoa. 

The fundraiser was a timely effort to support Post 22’s building fund. The organization is a vital hub for veterans and their families in the community, and the funds raised will go towards much-needed repairs to its century-old building, which is currently facing a termite problem. 

This event was a perfect example of how small businesses can have a big impact. By simply doing what we do every day, the Pig & Whistle provided a simple way for everyone to participate in Giving Tuesday. This initiative shows how the spirit of giving can bring people together and build a stronger, more supportive community for everyone, especially those who have served our country. 

American Legion Post 22 offered its heartfelt thanks to the Pig & Whistle for their generous support. It’s a reminder that when local businesses and community organizations come together, amazing things can happen.
