HAWS, the Humane Animal Welfare Society of Waukesha County, has again been chosen to benefit from the December “Nachos Navidad” promotion and through sales of Christmas ornaments at the Waukesha Taco John’s restaurant at 317 N. Grand Ave.

Noted Dusty Stiefel, Unit General Manager for Taco John’s, “This will be our third straight year raising donations for HAWS, and we want to make sure we beat our amount from last year of $1,992.”

Nachos Navidad billboards will be posted Nov. 12, marking the day Taco John’s will begin selling their $1 holiday ornaments for HAWS.  Then, starting Dec. 1 and continuing throughout the month, 25 cents from every Nachos Navidad sold at the Waukesha eatery will be donated to HAWS.  For those with spare change in their pockets, Taco John’s will also have collection jars for HAWS.

“The entire crew at Taco John’s works very hard to make all the customers aware that we are raising money for HAWS, and our customers are a huge part of raising this money year after year," Stiefel said. "We wouldn’t be so successful without them!”

“We are incredibly grateful to Taco John’s and their continued support of HAWS through these fundraisers,” said Lynn Olenik, HAWS’ Executive Director.  “Support like this from our community means so much to us – and we really enjoy working with Dusty and her staff.  They are great friends to HAWS!”
