Both wearing their blue shirts with pride, our Development Director, Jim Christie, accepts two checks from Marie “Irma” McGuinness, Personnel Manager/ Community Involvement Coordinator at the Auburn Walmart.
Walmart gave the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Maine the first check for $1,000 as part of a grant, and the second check for $500 was a donation given because Walmart employees volunteered at the Make-A-Wish Walk for Wishes this past May.
Auburn T.G.I. Friday's Raises $2,000 for Make-A-Wish!
The night was made to be a competition between bartenders: who can pour the best drink in the most creative way? But, it was a very friendly competition with the proceeds of the event going to the Foundation.
Last year, an impressive $1,200 was raised at the Auburn TGI Friday's Bartender Challenge. This year, however, blew last year's number out of the water with $2,000 coming in to help grant wishes!
