The pandemic hit real hard on everyone, especially small businesses, which heavily relied on their small clientele. With lockdowns, these businesses struggled to remain afloat. However, a fund like the Barstool fund was birthed. This fund by Marcus Lemonis ensures small businesses survive the pandemic by applying for the fund and people contributing to it through tax-deductible contributions and purchasing merchandise. Elsewhere, Fieri started a Restaurant Employee Relief Fund with most funds from his pleas like Moet Hennessy and raised over $21.5 million in seven weeks to assist restaurant workers.
If you are a small business owner in need of help due to the impacts of COVID, you can submit your application at: TheBarstoolFund.com/apply If you are able to help, you can make a tax deductible contribution to support small businesses featured below by clicking “Contribute to the Fund.” You can also support small businesses by purchasing one of the shirts below. 100% of the net proceeds will go towards supporting small businesses.

Dishes include the Real Cheezy burger, which comes with Fieri’s signature donkey sauce.
