O’Riley’s Irish Pub Hosts Its Annual Grog March Pub Crawl

Donations to Benefit Manna Food Pantry

Every year, we at O’Riley’s Irish Pub love to give back to the community. March is one of the biggest months of the year for us, and we always kick it off with a fantastic charity fundraiser and food drive. On Saturday, March 4th of this year, we will be holding our annual Grog March Pub Crawl. We want people to come decked out in green and ready to have fun for a cause.

The Grog March is one of our biggest charity drives of the year. When you attend the Grog March, your donations go straight to Manna Food Pantry. Just by attending, you are helping the community by providing food and help to those who need it most. Entry into the Grog March requires a donation of two nonperishable food items or $10 to Manna Food Pantry. Manna’s most needed items include canned fruit, canned mixed vegetables, and oatmeal, but they will accept any nonperishable food items you donate regardless of expiration date.

Your entry donation gives you everything you need for the pub crawl and access to exclusive deals. All attendees will receive a refillable 22 ounce collectible mug and a Grog March lanyard. If you want to both give more and get more, you can donate an additional $10 on top of the entry donation to receive a limited edition Grog March 2023 T-Shirt. Wear this shirt with pride knowing you helped someone in need. With your refillable mug, you can grab any of our Grog March specials. These deals include $5 draft beer, $7 and $8 cocktail refills, and Grog Punch refills for $7!

This is an Irish Pub Crawl in March, so you should come dressed in your best St. Patrick’s day attire. It may not be St. Patrick’s day yet, but let’s paint the town green, shall we? We want to see you in your best green suits, dresses, hats, and more! Make it your own, and show us how creative you can get with our favorite color.

Registration begins at 4 p.m. at O’Riley’s Irish Pub, and the March begins at 6 p.m. The pub crawl will go until 10 p.m. and is followed by an afterparty at O’Riley’s. Bring back your giveaway tickets, and you could win one of the great prizes O’Riley’s is giving away during the afterparty. Our DJ and weekly drink specials will start at 10 p.m. Continue celebrating like it’s St. Patrick’s Day and finish your night surrounded by a sea of green.

O’Riley’s Irish Pub Owner Warren Sonnen has a special message for the community:

“The Grog March is our annual St. Patrick’s themed pub crawl, and I think is the best way to start preparing for March 17th. Green beer, car bombs, Guinness, corned beef and cabbage, and a charitable pub crawl help us all to get into the spirit of St. Patrick’s day. Help us collect food and raise funds for Manna Food Pantries. It really is a great way for us to give back to and interact with our community, and we look forward to it every year. It’s a great way to kick off March and an even better way to remind the community to look out for each other.”

Please join us on Saturday, March 4th from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. to have a great time for a great cause. Help us kick all of our March festivities off with a bang! You can find more information and tickets for sale on orileyspub.com.

Our community is what keeps us alive and thriving, and with every charity drive we host, we see how the community comes together to help those in need. We at O’Riley’s Irish Pub thank you for your support throughout the years, and we thank you for giving us another opportunity to help make our community a better place. We look forward to seeing you at the Grog March.
