Snuffer’s Restaurant & Bar Fundraiser For Fallen Officers!

Snuffer’s Restaurant & Bar will host a fundraiser for Rogelio Santader and Crystal Almeida. Rogelio Santander, a three-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department, was fatally shot on Tuesday, April 24 while assisting with an arrest at a Lake Highlands Home Depot. Along with Officer Santander, Officer Crystal Almeida was also shot and is still in critical condition but is showing improvements.

To honor these officers, both Dallas Snuffer’s Restaurant & Bar locations will donate a portion of the sales made on Wednesday, May 2 to the Blue Guardian Foundation to benefit the families of Officer Santander and Officer Almeida.

“This is truly heartbreaking, you never expect something like this to happen in your city,” said Steve Chambers, Sr. Director of Operations. “And while we can never adequately repay these brave officers for their service, we strongly believe in backing the blue, so we are going to raise money for their families whose loved ones risked their lives for our city.”

The fundraiser will take place from open to close on Wednesday at these Dallas Snuffer’s locations – 8411 Preston Road and 3526 Greenville Ave. If you can’t make it out to the fundraiser, donate to the Blue Guardian Foundation directly at Paypal/BlueGuardianFund.

Snuffer’s proudly backs the blue on an ongoing basis. All active-duty and retired first responders receive a 15% discount when dining at Snuffer’s – all day every day – in recognition of their service. (Valid ID or proof of service required.)

Win 4 Tickets to Sea Life Grapevine!

Have you ever been to Sea Life? We LOVE Sea life – I particularly love that it is all indoors and air conditioned. In Texas our weather is fierce and to be able to make plans to go to Sea life no matter if it’s raining, freezing, or over 100 degrees is awesome!

I was born and raised in Florida and I very much enjoy Sea life because it reminds me of home. I love the beach, ocean, and all of the different species you can see. Sea Life is also so fun and educational for anyone, but, the kids love it, too. They can play, learn, and see the interactive displays and exhibits!

Right now you have a chance to win tickets! They gave me 4 FREE tickets for the all-new Sea Turtle Rescue Center Exhibit at SEA LIFE Grapevine opening on May 4.

Sea Turtle Rescue Center is a new interactive rehabilitation experience. This new permanent exhibit lets guests of all ages learn about the threats turtles face in the wild and experience first-hand the process of successfully rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing sea turtles.

Upon entry, guests will become a bonafide turtle rescuer as they collect a mock turtle from the beach, name and weigh their patient, then begin a virtual rehabilitation journey. After using an x-ray machine to diagnose and remedy injuries, guests nurse their turtle back to health at the feeding and hydration station then release them back into the wild.

In addition to observing non-releasable sea turtles in a display tank, guests can also view aquarists through a glass window working with real injured patients in the aquarium’s new rehabilitation facility and hospital. The Grapevine aquarium is the first SEA LIFE in the U.S. to be permitted to rehabilitate sick and injured sea turtles and release them back into the wild through partnerships with Animal Rehabilitation Keep (ARK), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and other Texas coast sea turtle hospitals.

SEA LIFE Grapevine is located at 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway, Grapevine, Texas 76051. For more information visit www.visitsealife.com/grapevine or call 469-444-3050.
