Remedy’s, a popular tavern chain with two locations in Henderson, will sponsor and host the Fourth Annual “Kennedy Kares” fundraising event at its 3265 St. Rose Parkway location, a benefit for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, on Saturday, September 17 from 1 to 5 p.m.
The event, which raised more than $21,000 last year (and more than $50,000 since its inception) for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, is the brainchild of Henderson residents and proud parents Anthony and Nikki Aukofer.
“What a thrill it is to bring this event back for the fourth year. This community and the customers at Remedy’s always step up to help us raise a lot of money for St. Jude,” said Anthony Aukofer, event organizer and Remedy’s bartender. “Our daughter Kennedy is four years old and we are very fortunate that she was born healthy and continues to be a very healthy little girl. We want to do our part to help those parents and families with children fighting cancer and raising money for St. Jude is a great fit.”
The management of Remedy’s invites the public to celebrate Kennedy’s birthday and make a donation to St. Jude. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction with items including: 2 round trip tickets to London; membership to Dragon Ridge Golf Course; show, hotel and restaurant certificates and a mini-video poker machine, among many others.
Remedy’s will also host a dunk tank during the event, providing guests an opportunity to dunk their favorite Remedy’s employees. The tavern will also award a $1,000 bonus to the guest who hits the first Royal Flush during the hours of the event.
For a limited time, a complimentary buffet of sandwiches, pastas and salads will be available to those who make a donation during the event. One hundred percent of donations will go directly to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
“This year, in addition to accepting donations at the event, we launched a website www.kennedykares.com so the fundraising party can happen year-round,” said Aukofer.
