“We couldn’t be happier to become a part of the vibrant and growing Horsham community. Our goal is to become our guests’ favorite spot meet up with friends, family, coworkers and of course the best spot to catch a game,” says Jim Fris, CEO of the PJW Restaurant Group. “Community and giving back are the core of what we do, so it’s a natural fit to launch our annual Shamrock campaign as we open the doors to our newest location.”

To coincide with the opening, P.J. Whelihan’s will be kicking off their annual Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) ‘Change the Luck of a Child’ fundraiser where patrons can purchase a Shamrock or Pot of Gold to benefit the health and well-being of children in the Greater Philadelphia Area. The restaurant has also partnered with Tito’s Vodka to donate $1 for every Tito’s drink purchased throughout the month-long fundraiser. Since 2012, the group has raised more than $600,000 for RMHC, and is excited to launch the campaign at their newest location in Horsham.
