ABOUT OUR EVENT SPONSORS:


About MaGerks Pub & Grill

MaGerks Pub is a growing family business with philanthropic roots in their communities. The event will take place at their largest venue in Horsham, PA which can hold up to 450 guests! MaGerks also has locations in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, 2 locations in Baltimore, Maryland and is always expanding!

MaGerks owners, the Dolaway Family are sure that each location is committed to supporting the local charities, townships, sponsoring schools, youth sports and other community organizations. Following Hurricane Harvey, MaGerks gave 15% of all sales for a day company-wife to the cause! Also MaGerks sponsors local families every Christmas from Breathing Room and Maddie Dixon Cupboard. The staff and owners chip in to cover all the family's needs, like Christmas gifts and even help wrap! For these reasons and because the Horsham restaurant is fabulously rustic, PPbyTT and Ladies for Lemons chose this location!

INSPIRATION OF LADIES FOR LEMONS

As a Philadelphia-area resident through her life, Tracy T. Nyszczot heard about Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) and their many outreach programs in the area. The cause hit closer to home when she met her (then new) neighbor, Tosha Morris, who had proudly displayed their “Gavin Strong” sign outside their residence. Tosha told Tracy about how her family came from West Virginia to Philadelphia, PA, so that their oldest son Gavin could receive cancer treatment at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Although she never met him, Tracy felt encouraged by Gavin, who was such a courageous little man, they called him "Gavin Strong". Sadly, Gavin lost his battle with cancer in 2014; however, the Morris Family decided to stay and put down some roots in Pennsylvania. Upon meeting her, Tosha’s strength and faith has amazed whoever she meets. Her and her husband’s perseverance and productivity through their grief is truly inspiring. They established Gavin’s undying legacy through the Gavin Strong Fund and partnered with ALSF to further expand their outreach. Through their many events and projects, Gavin Strong has raised $120,000 for neuroblastoma cancer research and collected 200 pints of blood for the American Red Cross.


This family continues living through even more battles with cancer after Gavin’s passing. Now, Gavin's grandfather, Steve, is sadly fighting his own battle with glioblastoma cancer. In addition, Gavin’s great-grandmother now has cancer, so the Morris Family moved back to West Virginia to care for their loved ones. Seeing everything that this family has been through is an unbelievable inspiration and a constant reminder of how fragile life is; and how strong love can be! Tracy was so motivated that she devoted her first post-mommy-break professional project through her charitable event planning company, PPbyTT. This event will not only be an inspiring fundraiser for a noble charity ALSF, but will also serve as a sort of Second Homecoming for the Morris’s to visit their “Pennsylvania Home”.


LADIES FOR LEMONS (L4L) was created as a circle of women coming together to empower each other for a cause and to organize their community to rally around this strong family. These Ladies include event sponsors, vendors, supporters and partners. LADIES FOR LEMONS will raise funds for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) for Childhood Cancer ~ Gavin Strong Fund.
