RC Group ’ s Beaumont , Texas , Buffalo Wild Wings ® location hosted a fundraiser March 30 , benefiting the No Stone Left Un-Turned Corp ., a 501c3 nonprofit organization that covers the costs of placing veteran headstones when the family of the fallen veteran is unable to do so . The government covers funeral , burial and provides the headstone for veterans . However , if they are not buried in a military cemetery , it is up to the family to cover placement cost of the headstone . The Eat Wings , Raise Funds ( EWRF ) event donated 15 percent of sales from 11 a . m . to 12 a . m . that Wednesday . Through donations and daily sales , over $ 1,200 was raised for the organization to provide the honorable mark our veterans and their families deserve .

“ As a franchise owner , I strive to give back to my community in any and all ways possible . This event for No Stone Left Un-Turned afforded us the opportunity to give back to those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom . We take every opportunity possible to put funds back into our community and to show our gratitude to our loyal fans ,” said RC Group franchisee Chris Olexa .
From 6:30 to 9:30 p . m ., several local musicians – two of which are veterans themselves , one being a Purple Heart recipient for injuries he received twice in combat – came out to provide live music on the patio for guests to enjoy . No Stone Left Un-Turned Charity Founder Lee Pelly , a guitarist himself , also took the stage to provide entertainment for all B-Dubs ® guests to enjoy . There was a great turnout from the community , as well as from veterans in the nearby area that came out to support their fellow comrades .

the event to see the effort the community was making to give back to their fallen comrades . S
