At Joey's Only we embrace the philosophy that "charity begins at home". We believe that through teamwork, we can help our communities become better places to live, work and play. That is why we actively participate in various charity initiatives in the communities in which we operate. Nationally, we support the Alzheimer Society of Canada.

Since 2000, Joey's Only has committed to assist the Alzheimer Society of Canada in dispelling the myths surrounding Alzheimer Disease through our financial, moral and personal support. Combined, we have raised more than $790,000 through events such as our Fat Fish Coupon Fundraiser and annual Charity Golf Classic tournament.

Since 2001, participating Joey's Only restaurants have been selling Fat Fish coupons to raise money for the Alzheimer Society of Canada. As part of the fundraiser, Joey's Only customers make a $1 contribution to the Alzheimer Society of Canada in exchange for a $1-off coupon for any menu entrée on their next visit to Joey's Only. In return, customers receive a yellow paper "Fat Fish" on which they write their name to be displayed at the participating restaurant. To date, this event has raised more than $140,000 for the Alzheimer Society of Canada.

Every September, Joey's Only Seafood Restaurants participate in the Alzheimer Society of Canada's annual Coffee Break. All proceeds from Joey's Only coffee sales on that day are donated to local chapters of the Alzheimer Society of Canada. Joey's Only's participation in this event has raised more than $30,700.

ach August from 2000 to 2007, Joey's Only hosted some 200 golfers at Calgary's Heritage Point Golf Course for its annual Charity Golf Classic. Over this time, the event raised more than $590,000 for the Alzheimer Society of Canada. The Charity Golf Classic became an annual sell out and gained a reputation as one of Calgary's must attend golf and social events. Joey's Only is excited to be moving in a new direction for 2009 with an event that could prove even more beneficial for the Alzheimer Society: A Seafood Extravaganza!

Joey's Only encourages its franchisees to participate in their community and support their local Alzheimer Society chapters. Through various local fundraising events, Joey's Only Seafood Restaurants across the country have raised over $30,000 through local initiatives. Many events have been highly successful, such as Cornwall's Lobster Blast and Hinton's Anniversary Fundraiser for the Alzheimer Cottage. Silent auctions, dance-a-thons, and coin jars are just a few of the other ways Joey's franchisees help raise money for their local Alzheimer Society chapters.
