More than $2,300 raised for Task Force Dagger Foundation
More than 200 people attended the Task Force Dagger Foundation event at Pinch-a-Penny on Saturday. Four Walt Disney World tickets and gift certificates to 1916 Irish Pub were raffled off with all proceeds going to the foundation. The event raised more than $2,300 for the foundation, which helps active duty and veteran U.S. Special Operations Command service members and their families.
Casey Wiley, co-owner of Pinch-a-Penny, said SOF legend Mark Stephens enjoyed meeting with members of the community during the event. During the event, there was a discount on pool supplies and equipment with a portion of the sales going toward the foundation. Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea from Tampa served free cold brew coffee and iced tea all day and Kamado Joe Premium Ceramic Grill’s representatives were there cooking food and handing out free samples.
