Fundraiser for Curt Mercer — August 23 at The Som
A few months ago, our dear friend and long-time cook, Curt Mercer, was the victim of a random and violent act that left him severely injured. It was unexpected, frightening, and heartbreaking for all of us who know him.
Curt is not only a hard worker and a pillar in our kitchen — he’s one of the kindest, most gentle souls we’ve ever met. His quiet strength and courage throughout this recovery has been nothing short of incredible.
We’re hosting a fundraiser at The Som on August 23 to rally around Curt and help support him in the long road ahead. Whether you’ve worked alongside him, shared a beer with him, or just want to stand up for goodness in this world — we hope you’ll join us.
🖤 If you’d like to volunteer your time, donate a raffle item or service, or simply help us spread the word, please reach out to us directly at The Som -319-752-9155
🖤 Can’t attend but want to help? You can donate to his GoFundMe here: https://gofund.me/c0498cee
It’s been difficult to wrap our heads around how something so senseless could happen to someone so good. But we believe love, support, and community always win — and this is our chance to show Curt just how much good there still is.
