Fund selects Chadwick’s, well-known Bay Ridge restaurant, for aid program
"A longstanding, classic Brooklyn restaurant"
Chadwick’s, the well-known Bay Ridge restaurant that, like others, has struggled to stay afloat due to the COVID-19 pandemic has received a pleasant surprise that could help it survive.
On Saturday, Jan. 9, Gerry Morris, co-owner of the restaurant at 8822 3rd Ave., received a video call from Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who informed him the longtime eatery has been selected for a grant from the Barstool Fund.
The Barstool Fund, which has now grown to more than $22 million, was created to give small businesses a chance to thrive as the digital company gives owners what they request to stay open. Among the famous contributors to the fund are superstar quarterback Tom Brady, Food Network host Guy Fieri, musician Kid Rock and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who recently agreed to donate $500,000 to the fund.
