This past weekend, tragedy struck our community when a mass shooting occurred on West 6th Street in downtown Austin. Fourteen people were injured and, heartbreakingly, three lives were lost. The impact of this event has been deeply felt by everyone in our neighborhood, especially the families who are now facing unimaginable challenges. As a direct neighbor to where the shooting happened, POP the bar is committed to standing with these families and showing them that they are not alone.

We are hosting an event at POP the bar to bring our community together and offer support to those who need it most. Every donation made through this fundraiser will go directly to the families affected by the shooting. The funds will help cover urgent needs, counseling, or anything the families decide is most important for their healing and recovery. As a thank you, anyone who donates will receive a free crawfish plate at our event—a small gesture to show our gratitude and encourage everyone to come together in solidarity.

Now, more than ever, we need to show that Austin is strong, compassionate, and united. Your support, no matter the amount, will make a real difference in the lives of these families. Please join us in helping our neighbors heal and rebuild. Austin strong.
