Each December for the last eight years, Old Juan’s Cantina has held a fundraiser for a local nonprofit. Since 2010, the restaurant has raised more than $18,000, selecting a different recipient each year.

About 150 people attended, and donations of approximately $11,600 were raised. Checks of $2,600 were presented to the nonprofits at the guild’s December general meeting.
