Help rebuild Dugan's Country Grill

My name is Bill Nivison and I am raising funds on behalf of Michael and Josea Dugan. They are the proud owners of Dugan’s Country Grill, a family style restaurant in beautiful upstate New York. Sunday, December 11, the restaurant suffered a catastrophic fire. The kitchen is a total loss and the rest of the restaurant will require significant renovation due to heavy smoke damage. They cannot operate for the foreseeable future as the repairs will take a few months.

As Michael and Josea process the losses and work with the insurance company it has become evident that there are immediate needs that if not met will have detrimental effects on their employees, the community and them. The costs to rebuild and the loss of income during the closure will certainly put them in danger of losing their beloved diner.

Michael and Josea did not want to ask for money to assist them so I am doing it on their behalf. You can be certain that every penny donated will go directly to rebuild and improve Dugan’s Country Grill. Many have come to their aid during this particularly difficult time and they are extremely humbled and grateful for the outpouring of love and support. Their priority is to continue to honor all catering requests and provide holiday family meals but to achieve this will require immediate help. They are dedicated to providing the best family restaurant experience possible and will apply all donations to this cause. Many are asking what they can do to help as this is a community that rallies to ensure the success of one of its own! THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN HELP! As of right now our goal to continue services as soon as possible is to raise $50,000. Any amount is appreciated and it is a day to day assessment to reopening with limited capability. Thanks for your desire to help Dugan’s Country Grill rise from the ashes and emerge stronger and better than ever!!
