Hop21 Ping Pong Bar Covid-19 Employees Fund

Dear friends and family,

Unfortunately, as most of you already know, on March 17th we had to close our bar due to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s order to temporarily close all bars and restaurants in Minnesota over the fear of spreading COVID-19. I understand and support this decision that has been made to ensure safety and good health of our staff and guests. However, our 4 employees have lost their jobs overnight and must apply for unemployment which, because most of their income comes from tips, will barely be enough to survive on.

For this reason, I’m asking for your help. Any donations you choose to make, will go to support our staff and their families. I understand that many of you – Hop21 supporters, are possibly facing similar problems, however, Food and Beverage industry has been hit the hardest, and tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs.

Now it’s truly up to you, our most loyal and loving fans, to support your favorite ping pong bar employees. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your heartfelt support and generous contributions.  I hope to have the privilege of inviting you to my bar again soon! 

Sincerely, 

Max Vinogradov,
Hop21 owner
