Restaurant Raises $5,000 For Pediatric Cancer Fundraiser
A special fundraiser was held at Catch Twenty Three last week.
On April 7, the folks at Catch Twenty Three took a break from cooking up delicious food and rooted on chef and owner Rob Wickner as he had his head shaved.
The haircut was a part of an effort to raise money for The Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
The restaurant, 10103 Montague St., served unlimited appetizers, held a silent auction and had a live band for a suggested donation of $25 per person. As a way to boost donations, Wickner said he would have his head shaved during the fundraiser.
