Weigel’s Wags for Warriors Fundraiser Party – Maryville, TN

On Saturday, June 29, 2024, Weigel’s in Maryville, TN, hosted a vibrant and successful event to raise funds for Smoky Mountain Service Dogs or maybe better known as Wags for Warriors. Over a three-hour window, attendees had the opportunity to sample Weigel’s new Smash Burger menu, featuring four delectable options: the W, BBQ Bacon Cheddar, Mushroom Swiss, and The Scorcher. Priced at $6 each, with an option to double the patty for an additional $2, these burgers were a hit among the community.

Weigel’s Wags for Warriors Fundraiser guests enjoyed their delicious burgers, and participated in a variety of games, including cornhole and a football net challenge. The event was an overwhelming success, bringing the Maryville community together in a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. Local firefighters, radio stations, and our generous partners at Eagle Distributing contributed to the festivities with fantastic prizes.

Despite a brief but heavy downpour, the fun continued with the help of a Bud Light Hummer equipped with a massive stereo, keeping the vibe upbeat and energetic. The event managed to raise almost $250, which will go towards providing fully trained service dogs to wounded veterans and service members—a cause close to our hearts. We at Weigel’s always strive to support and give back to our community, especially those who serve and protect our country. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all service members for their dedication and sacrifice.

During the event, we accepted donations of any size, allowing participants to enter a raffle for a variety of Bud Light freebies, including coolers that double as speakers, football nets, cornhole boards, and more. Every donor also got a chance to spin a prize wheel, ensuring that everyone walked away with something special, from koozies and hats to t-shirts, first aid kits, and keychains.

Weigel’s continues to prioritize customer satisfaction and community connection through innovative promotions and events. The success of the Smash Burger launch and the enthusiasm surrounding the Bud Light giveaways highlight our dedication to excellence, fun, and giving back to the community.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this event memorable. We look forward to many more opportunities to bring our community together and support meaningful causes.
