Through June 27 - the 842 Group locations will be running a community fundraiser to support families affected by the Nippon tragedy. Guests will have the option to round up their check, with contributions being directed to the Nippon Family Fundraiser.
842 Group will also match guest donations collected during the campaign up to $4,000. This is being done across our four locations: The Office 842, Triangle Tavern, Silver Star Sports Bar & Grill, and Maddalena’s Italian Café.
