Description
Summertime has finally arrived and with it comes our Nation’s pastime. Baseball. Come out and join us under the sun for baseball, beer, and bettering our community.
For $15 you get a ticket to the game, the honor of sitting near me, and a voucher for a hot dog, chips, and non-alcoholic beverage. Yes you can still buy beer. Hooray beer. All in all a $21 value plus the BEST PART is that $5 will be going back to the United Way’s Community Solution Fund to provide support to over 100 nonprofit programs through 60 charitable organizations.
HOW TO ORDER: Either reach out and contact a Project:U member OR email Kirsten Willis at info@project-u.org
We will be getting a block of tickets to sit together. So come alone or with your peeps.
DIRECTIONS:
Cheney Stadium is near the intersection of Tyler and 19th street in Tacoma just off of Highway 16. From Interstate 5, take exit 132 (Highway 16) west. Take the 19th Street exit going east. Once on 19th, turn right on Cheyenne which is the first street sign you see. This takes you directly to the parking lot.
Last Wednesday night Project:U was lucky enough to partner with an extremely generous restaurant. Paddy Coyne’s donated 25% of the entire proceeds from our evening takeover for a total of $531! The money raised will be donated to United Way’s Community Solutions Fund which supports the work of over 100 different programs in 61 agencies throughout Pierce County, and works towards long term solutions in our community’s most challenging areas. Thank you so much for joining us and helping our community grow stronger!
.
Join Project:U at Paddy Coyne’s (815 Pacific Ave, Tacoma) on Wednesday, June 23rd between 5:00-10pm. We will be raising our pints and toasting to the fantastic T-Town summer days! Paddy Coyne’s has invited Project:U to invade and help support our community by donating 25% of the evenings proceeds to benefit United Way of Pierce County. Paddy Coyne’s has put together a special menu for us, although all food and alcohol purchases are included, thanks to the generosity of Paddy Coyne’s.
If you think strengthening our community is important, and want to get together with others who feel the same, join us at Paddy Coyne’s for drinks, good food, and conversation! And don’t forget – 25% of proceeds is going back to our community!
See you there!

Tuesday 8 December | 6pm – 8pm | Pacific Grill, 1502 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma
There is no better way in my opinion to enjoy the holiday’s then good food and good friends. Well except perhaps a nice glass of wine sitting right beside my plate. This is a chance for us to get together to celebrate this season at a fun event that will also benefit our community. Chef Gordon Naccarato and his folks will be preparing a special 3-course menu for us at an incredible price of $35.
This is a true treat as the mild mannered, warm-hearted, Tacoma born and raised Gordon is also a renowned chef. Recognized by Food and Wine Magazine as a top new chef in 1988, he has cooked for the likes of Michael Jackson, Supreme Court Justices, Neil Diamond, Jack Nicholson, Donald Trump, and now us. The real holiday gift comes from the generosity of Pacific Grill, as $10 of each meal from the special menu will go to the United Way of Pierce County.
So come for a happy-hour drink and stay for dinner. The Menu will tempt the pickiest of diners; regardless of what you select, the one thing I know is that at PG it will be a fantastic feast. Please call and make a reservation and let them know it is for the Project:U event. You can do so at http://www.pacificgrilltacoma.com/reservations.html or you can call PG at 253.627.3535.
So Invite everyone you know… and if you are new and looking to join a table let us know or inquire with our facebook friends. See you there.
