bartending-on-page-300x107-5045630-9269369On Saturday, March 1 and every Saturday through May 3, Reno Pinocchio bartender Jillian Pinocchio is stepping aside and Celebrity Bartenders are going to work for tips, all for a good cause, Moms on the Run.

“I have been serving most of our Celebrity Bartenders for years, it is going to feel good to put them behind the bar and have them hustle for tips to help raise money for Moms on the Run,” Jillian Pinocchio said.

All tips earned by the Celebrity Bartenders will go directly to Moms on the Run which provides financial assistance directly to women who are undergoing cancer treatment to help pay for everyday needs. Jim Bauserman of Bauserman Group, Jim Minor of the Minor Group and Pete Ernaut from R&R Partners are the first group of Celebrity Bartenders to compete for the most tips on Saturday, March 1.

Moms on the Run, a local non-profit run by volunteers, provides financial assistance directly to women to pay for everyday needs while undergoing cancer treatment. All donations stay in Northern Nevada, helping Northern Nevada families suffering from the financial strain of a cancer diagnosis. More than 98 cents for every dollar raised and donated to Moms on the Run go directly to those in need.

The Celebrity Bartenders fundraising line-up at Reno Pinocchio includes:

March 1 – Jim Bauserman, Pete Ernaut and Jim Minor

March 8 – Tony Marini, Brad Bell and Frank Picone

March 15 – TBA

March 22 – Dave Huges and Troy Browning from “Those Golf Guys”

March 29 – The DeRicco Brother’s (Joe and John) with Dustin Garcia

April 12 – Ryan and Brady Dolan and Ryon Walters from Dolan Auto Group

April 19 – Camie Cragg Lymann and Cowboy Cragg

April 26 – Dr. Frieda Hulka

In addition to tips, auction items include jewelry and sports memorabilia. The event is every Saturday from March 1 through May 3 at Pinocchio’s Reno, 5995 S. Virginia Street, in Reno. All proceeds going to Moms on the Run. For more information contact Jillian Pinocchio at 775-826-5151.
