Central Maine Restaurant Mgr Needs Our Help Following Med Event

Burano's Pizza's beloved restaurant manager, Jeff Lemont, recently suffered a serious medical emergency that required weeks of hospitalization and open-heart surgery. While the road to recovery is ongoing, the medical expenses continue to mount.

To help ease the financial burden, they've launched a donation drive and giving back to those who support them. As a thank-you, donations will come with gift cards to Burano’s:

Donate $50–$100 and receive 10% back in gift cards
Donate $125–$175 and receive 15% back in gift cards
Donate $200 or more and receive 20% back in gift cards

Your generosity not only helps our manager and their family, but also strengthens the community that makes Burano’s feel like home.

According to the GoFundMe page,

Our Burano's Hallowell manager, our HR Director, our Oak Hill H.S. Coach, our neighbor, and lastly our friend, Jeff Lemont, suffered a serious heart attack a couple of weeks ago. It has been a rough couple of weeks for him and his family, but thankfully, the doctors did their magic this past week and now he is on his way, a very long way, to recovery.

I can only imagine the anxiety Jeff is going through, missing out on coaching the boys' soccer team and flipping pizzas! I'm reaching out to our customers who know him, his friends, and anyone who's able to help with a donation to cover his medical expenses and incidentals. Any amount will be helpful and appreciated!
