Pineapple Willy’s is turning a full week of meals and drinks into a community fundraiser in Panama City Beach.
Pay It Forward Week Runs Through September 20
From September 14 through September 20, Pineapple Willy’s is donating 100% of its profits from lunch and dinner service to local charities and nonprofits.
The annual fundraiser continues the giving tradition established by founder William “Pine” Buskell through the Pineapple Willy’s Foundation.
Guests do not need tickets or reservations to participate. Simply dining at the restaurant during the week helps support organizations serving people and families across Bay County.
Nine Local Organizations Will Benefit
This year’s fundraiser supports nine local organizations, including:
Beach Care Services
United Way of Northwest Florida
Early Learning Coalition of Northwest Florida
Gulf Coast Children’s Advocacy Center
Bay Education Foundation
Girls Inc.
B.A.S.I.C. of Northwest Florida
Panama City Beach Paws & Claws
The Arc of the Bay
United Way Northwest Florida joins the list of beneficiaries this year, bringing the total number of supported organizations to nine.
The fundraiser gives diners a simple way to support local causes while enjoying a meal at one of Panama City Beach’s longtime restaurants.
