Wings Etc. Raises $6,700 for Children at Beacon

Volleyball tournament, in-store giving, event sponsorship raises $6,700 for Beacon Children’s Hospital

FORT WAYNE, Ind., Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2019 — Wings Etc. Grill & Pub, an Indiana-based sports bar chain, raised $6,700 for Beacon Children’s Hospital as part of its 2019 Four Winds Invitational Fundraiser.

Wings Etc. joined a growing number of community organizations helping Beacon Children’s Hospital raise money for special projects. Proceeds from the 2019 effort will purchase life-changing pediatric eye-imaging systems.

The Wings Etc. fundraising effort for Beacon Children’s Hospital started on May 18, with a donation-based volleyball tournament held at Wings Beach Club, the beach volleyball venue at Wings Etc. pub in Osceloa, Indiana. During the month of June, several other Wings Etc. locations in Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan held in-store “Hope and Help” fundraisers, which invited Wings Etc. guests to donate to Beacon Children’s Hospital during their restaurant visits. Wings Etc. also sponsored the “Kid’s Zone” area at the Four Winds Invitational on June 9, during the live fundraising event.

“We work hard to provide our guests with a great sports bar experience,” said Ryan Flickinger, Vice President of Operations for Wings Etc. Operating Company, “but our responsibility doesn’t end there. We are committed to giving back to the communities in which our guests, our staff members and their families live. The work at Beacon Children’s Hospital and its impact saving and improving lives is important to us, and we are honored and privileged to be part of the effort,” said Flickinger.

The check presentation took place August 20, 2019 at the Beacon Children’s Hospital atrium in South Bend, Indiana. “The donations of time and money from our guests and team members is greatly appreciated” says Flickinger, “and we believe we can do even more in 2020.”
