Also on October 15th, Moe’s will host an “all you can eat” fundraising dinner from 5 to 8 p.m. As the name implies, guests can eat all the fresh and delicious food they want for only $10. As part of its commitment to helping the community, Moe’s has selected the Spring-Ford Rams girls basketball team as the recipient of one hundred percent of the proceeds from the October 15th fundraiser.

“The motto for our team, school and community has been TOGETHER. We are all a part of this community and need to always work collectively to help each other out, whether it be in our community, academics or athletics. We are ‘all in’ to give our kids and residents the best we can possibly offer in all facets of life. To have a group like Moe’s Southwest Grill that is generously providing a charity fundraiser for us before they even open their doors and make a dime really means a lot to our school and our kids. Moe’s exemplifies our motto and we look forward to embracing them as a valued member of our community,” commented Mickey McDaniel, athletic director for Spring-Ford High School.
During the charity fundraiser on Wednesday October 15th, the new Moe’s in Oaks will entertain guests with prizes and giveaways. Guests can spin the Moe’s prize wheel for a $1 per spin donation to the Spring-Ford Rams girls basketball team and will win instant prizes from both Moe’s and the school. Prizes include game tickets, free food items and various other giveaways.
“This is our way of welcoming ourselves to the community and showing residents what makes Moe’s culture and food different than other restaurants. As a long time restaurateur, I believe in giving back to the communities in which we operate. We look forward to benefitting the Spring-Ford Rams girls basketball team in our pre-opening event and are anxious to give back within Oaks and the surrounding region for many years to come,” commented Jim O’Brien, franchise partner for the Oaks Moe’s Southwest Grill.
