Elrama Tavern Fire - Displaced Employee Fund
Donation protected
***ALL FUNDS RAISED THROUGH THIS FUNDRAISER ARE GOING DIRECTLY TO THE 27 DISPLACED EMPLOYEES OF THE ELRAMA TAVERN***
My name is Matthew Peterson and I am a sophomore at Thomas Jefferson High School. On March 31, 2022 the Elrama Tavern was lost to a fire. This is a devastating loss not only for the owner Susie, but each and everyone of her employees.
I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of ALL the kids in TJ who have ever received a donation from the Elrama Tavern to help support their team.
For those of you who don’t know, the owner Susie has always been a HUGE supporter of all TJ youth sports (as well as other surrounding areas including the Elizabeth Forward and Ringgold School Districts)
Even during the last few years when the restaurant/small business industry was taking a hard hit due to COVID, Susie always came through with a donation of some kind to help our teams. She is ALWAYS willing to help support our communities anyway needed. Her kindness is something we are so grateful for. Without the generous donations from local businesses like ET we would not be able to do all the things we do within these programs.

The TJ 12u Travel Baseball teams, (both of which have been blessed by Susie’s donations to help fund their final year of little league) and I feel it is only right to return the favor and show them the same support now. That is why we set up this fundraiser.
We are hoping to raise enough funds to help Susie’s 27 employees with some of their expenses while they recover from the loss of their livelihood.

We are asking this community along with the Elizabeth and Ringgold communities to come together and support the EMPLOYEES of this small, local business who has done so much to support our teams as well as so many other programs within our districts. Let’s show them how thankful we are for all their years of support!
Anything helps❤️
Thank you in advance for your donation!
