J.J. Mahoney’s Irish Pub and Redmond’s Bar & Grill recently partnered up to host their inaugural Eastside Open golf tournament that raised $5,000 to support Steptember Northwest, a month-long fitness challenge that supports children with disabilities.
“I am always looking to help out,” said Bryan Streit, managing partner at J.J. Mahoney’s Irish Pub. “We usually pick a different charity every year (to benefit) from the tournament. It’s just awesome to see the generosity of the people who donate.”
The tournament — held at the Willows Run Golf Complex — had formerly been hosted by J.J. Mahoney’s but this year Redmond’s Bar & Grill joined in on the event to bring in new attendance and have a larger impact in the community. The merger was successful, bringing out more than 140 golfers to support local nonprofit organizations, PROVAIL, The Determined Parent’s Foundation and United Cerebral Palsy.
PROVAIL, partnered with The Determined Parent’s Foundation and UCP, introduced the Steptember challenge to the Pacific Northwest for the first time this year. Participants of Steptember are challenge to take 10,000 steps a day for one month to better their health and wellness, but also to raise vital funds that support children with disabilities and their families access the therapies and services they need to be successful.
