My Buddys Support Our Staff SOS by Brian BonDurant

Donation protected
Update-  The City of Chicago is extending the Stay-at-home order until May 30th.  The My Buddy's team is incredibly thankful to everyone that has already donated to this campaign.  We raised the limit to reflect the extended stay at home measure and miss all of you every single day.  We are counting the seconds until we can all see you again.  Stay safe and healthy everyone.  We love you!



As you know - All Bars & Restaurants have had to close their doors for the foreseeable future. This mandate effects thousands right here in Chicago.

For the past 2 years, MY BUDDY'S has been deeply committed to building up our Neighborhood & Community. We've hosted hundreds of fund raisers for local charities, schools, animal shelters, theatres, & More.  Many of you have helped us succeed in raising those funds.  For that we Thank You from the bottom of our hearts!

Today, I come to you in hopes you could help with just one more - MY BUDDY's STAFF.
Nothing means more to us than our staff, but we're a Mom & Pop Shop, so we don't have the deep pockets that some do.  What we're experiencing could go on for a while, and with our doors closed, we're unable to lend a financial hand.  We opened our pantry shelves to them so they can eat but they will need so much more. Can you, our neighbors and our community, help the people who have made your visits with us great?

We know we'll be back better than ever & we want our wonderful staff to be with us! We're not looking for a handout, but rather an investment in MY BUDDY's BONDS (aka Gift Certificates) to get relief for our staff now, to be used when we are able to open our doors again. We know this pandemic affects everyone, but if you can see it in your heart and have the means, please help by contributing with one of the suggestions below in mind...

See you Soon - Real Soon!
