ST. GEORGE — Two southern Utah business owners are turning happy hour into a helping hand with a goal to wipe out $55,000 in school lunch debt across Washington County with an upcoming event.

The fundraiser, set for May 31 from 4-7 p.m., will feature live music by Soul What!? and a packed lineup of activities at the Zion Brewery Station II, located at 142 N. Main Street in St. George. A $5 cover will be collected all day, with every dollar reportedly going toward school lunch debt. Guests can take part in a silent auction, a raffle and other surprises. Proceeds from food sales will also be donated.

Jolen Pace explained that the community is growing rapidly, and with that growth comes increased need. She said the area is fortunate to have successful businesses supported by the community, and those businesses provide a valuable platform where people can come together. She said she believes venues like restaurants and bars offer the perfect opportunity to support such causes.

The pair encouraged the community to come together at the fundraiser, enjoy the bar's welcoming atmosphere, drinks and food and help create real change for local kids and families facing hardship.
