Moe’s backs museum

Moe’s Southwest Grill is showing some love for the Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry on Wednesday.

The restaurant franchise has pledged to donate 20 percent of its sales 5-8 p.m. that day to the museum.

Two locations are participating, the downtown Charleston spot at King and Calhoun streets and the Mount Pleasant restaurant at 900 Houston Northcutt Blvd.

In addition to eating for the cause, those who participate also can enjoy face-painting and crafts. A jump castle will be at the Mount Pleasant location.

As a way of saying thank you, the museum will provide everyone who purchases a meal a free Family Pass to visit the museum 5-8 that evening or the following week (9 a.m.-5 p.m. Aug. 21-24).

The funds donated by Moe’s will be used to create more educational enhancements in museum exhibits and for safety and play improvements in the museum’s backyard.

Call 853-8962.
