I didn’t get to give my speech so I wanted to share on here…
I just want to thank every single person who came out today.
When we lost Stan’s to the fire, it was devastating. For so many of us, Stan’s is so much more than just a bar. It’s a second home. It’s where friendships have been made, memories have been shared, and somewhere along the way, people became family.
And if there’s one thing this whole experience has shown us, it’s just how incredible that family really is.
The amount of love and support we’ve received from this community has been absolutely overwhelming.
From our sponsors, the volunteers, everyone who donated, and every single person who came out to play today — thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I also want to give a very special thank you to Kevin Vilmer!!
The amount of time, hard work, and heart you put into organizing this tournament has been incredible. You took something that started out as a heartbreaking situation and turned it into a such a fun day that brought so many great people together. Epic!
Kevin, we truly cannot thank you enough for everything you’ve done for our Stan’s family. All the love to you, Stu, Beans, and Stan!!
We can’t wait for the day we get to open those doors again, welcome everyone back, and return even a little bit of the love you’ve shown us.
So, from our entire Stan’s family, thank you for loving this place as much as we do, for believing in us, and for helping us get back on our feet.
Here’s to our Stan’s family, to this amazing community, and to coming back stronger than ever!
Cheers, everybody! ❤️🍻
