A story that's making the rounds Thursday is that the owners of 8-Twelve MVP Bar and Grill will have a fundraising benefit for the families of the victims in the Azana Spa and Salon shooting in Brookfield Sunday.

One of our media partners, and my former employer, broke the story here.

I have not been to 8-Twelve, nor to any Surg Restaurant Group-owned establishments, but I have to say that in this time of tragedy, it's nice to see them step up to help out in any way they can.

Whether they raise hundreds of dollars, or ten dollars, the gesture is one of kindness and community.

I personally hope to make to one of their restaurants or at least help in getting folks to their fundraiser to help the families of the victims. More is expected to be announced Monday.
