Ainsley the barstool fund has
Ainsley. The barstool fund has
raised eighteen dollars million, helping
dozens of small business owners
crippled by covid. 19 restrictions.
You cant make this up
be changed totally needs the
business.
This is going to help so much.
I dont know what to say.
You are amazing,
Steve. The barstool fund is
going full throttle with the
help of celebrity chef guy Fieri
good morning.
It is awesome you are giving
us much deserved exposure,
because the barstool team just
rocking it
ainsley- you were with us in
March, when you launched the
restaurant employee relief fund,
you raised twenty two dollars million and
barstool is on the verge of
nineteen dollars million. Why did you team up with barstool
with barstool
Dave? Has it
getting money directly to the
employees or needed it at that
time and the next level of this
small businesses that were
successful in doing good at
operating and taking care of the
community, the second or third
round, not just a one time thing,
but a program where, once the
barstool fund gets involved, they
continue to support this business and help them get back
business and help them get back
on their feet.
I am telling you the response is
amazing. One hundred and forty thousand people were
involved in this to support it
and some big names bringing in
Money Tom Brady, kid Rock
Frank little. A lot of people
getting in on this and
recognizing small business is
the fabric of our community
Todd with this fund. It is small
business
when you watch those videos
where a family member knows they
are about to get the money and
they post it. It pools at your
heartstrings.
It really does.
These are all the people that we know
the pest control business.
Although small businesses, a lot
of people, have two jobs, three
jobs at a time
all the smaller businesses, not
the big ones, keep everybody
going.
When you look at them falling
off, they dont have the
finances to make it through a
month or two month, and if they
did, it is gone by now,
this large school fund, every
donation, barstoolfund dot com- is
the place to go.
Where do I get ten bucks?
That is for someone who doesnt
have ten bucks?
That is a lot of money,
a great program, eighteen and a half
and counting, and it will
continue to grow and support
Ainsley. It is a way of changing
lives.
You have been great.
