Benefit for Pasitos de Luz and Make A Wish Mexico

Friday, April 18th, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company celebrated their first anniversary in Puerto Vallarta. The popular Malecon family restaurant changed the interior of the restaurant to accommodate a huge crowd of celebrants. Special high top tables replaced the normal tables and chairs and the entire Bubba Gump crew was on hand to begin greeting invited guest at the door with a fresh margarita beginning at 9:30 PM.

Everyone attending was treated to a constant flow of food including, but certainly not limited to, coconut shrimp, ribs, crab meat tacos, and anything else you can imagine from their varied menu. The same prompt, friendly service was evident all evening with no one wanting for anything including a fresh margarita. VallartaToday.com General Manager and Editor Jim Hardy and his wife Carol were present to help celebrate.

We can't be sure how many people came through the party but it was certainly well over 300 participants. The tickets for the party were priced at $250 pesos per person with the proceeds going to the two honored charities, Make A Wish Mexico and Pasitos de Luz.
However, we learned that the restaurant and its General Manager, Alejandro Pichardo, had donated the entire day's receipts as well.
