Benefits
BJ's Restaurants TASC Force
In just its second year, our TASC Force program (Team Action to Support Communities) received from the National Restaurant Association its prestigious national Restaurant Neighbor Award in the large business category. Our TASC Force teams have helped fulfill the wishes of special needs kids, placed flags in a national cemetery by the graves of fallen soldiers, painted over unsightly graffiti and helped clean up beaches, parks and school grounds. In addition, we hosted blood drives, worked with Special Olympics, painted houses for elderly citizens, supported Habitat for Humanity and re-built playgrounds. Our teams have also worked at food banks, participated in fundraising runs and walkathons and delivered food to families in need on Christmas morning.
Our TASC Force team members do this on their own time, and they do it as a team. They do it because it's simply the right thing to do, and they inevitably come away as better individuals and more responsible citizens. In recognition of our volunteer teams, our Foundation often makes monetary donations to many of the charities supported by our team members. Your contributions to our BJ's Restaurants Foundation will help fund these and many other TASC Force events.
Raise $50 or more, receive one BJ’s Brewhouse Branded Pint Glass of your choice
Raise $100 or more, receive a set of 4 glasses.
Pathways Church
Pathways Church is a church in North Irvine and Tustin started by Mariners Church. Pathways Church meets every Sunday at 10am at Hicks Canyon Elementary School.
The Make Room for Santa Run helps raise funds for Pathways project, “The Widows and Orphans of Sri Lanka.” This Christmas Pathways Church has partnered with an organization in Sri Lanka and their hope is to encourage Sri Lankans to support widows and orphans of their country. Compassionate fund raising to support the building of a community center that would provide a place for work, meal sharing, and recreational activities are Pathways Church’s goals. Please join us at the Make Room for Santa Run to help this cause for Sri Lanka or visit us at the Pathways Church website www.ocpathways.org and click on “Compassion: Sri Lanka.”
