A very big thanks to all of you who came out to The Market at Fairhaven last Saturday, May 29. Our fundraiser to help little Olivia Cook, a six-year-old battling kidney disease, raised $10,374!
The Market at Fairhaven donated all proceeds from our new Real American BBQ on Saturday to Olivia Cook's foundation, which will help with kidney transplant-related expenses. Our generous customers not only bought $6,674 worth of MarketQ food --- Carolina pulled pork, Texas brisket and more --- but reached deep and donated an additional $3,700! Olivia's kidney donor, Danica Kilander, was on hand to thank the hundreds who stood in long lines in cold, wet weather to buy the best BBQ in town and help a friendly, lively little girl. Thanks to all the store team at The Market, the many volunteers and everyone who donated or helped us spread the word. You made a big difference!

MarketQ will be open all summer long, Fridays through Sundays, at The Market at Fairhaven, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
