SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Lucky Beaver Bar and Burger continues its community spirit and support of the South Lake Tahoe, Stateline, and Reno areas. Lucky Beaver has donated another $25,000 to Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care (LTWC) in 2025.

LTWC’s mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and then release orphaned and injured wildlife throughout the Lake Tahoe Basin. The timing of this donation is particularly meaningful, coinciding with the construction of LTWC’s new facility, which will significantly expand its ability to care for and release wildlife back into their natural habitats.

Catherine Mendez, executive director of Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care, expressed deep gratitude, “We are truly honored by Lucky Beaver’s substantial contribution year after year. Our ability to rescue, rehabilitate, and release wildlife relies heavily on the generosity of our community. Lucky Beaver is not only one of our favorite places to dine, but this gift provides an incredible boost to both our operations and our new capital project.”

Pat Farrah, co-owner of Lucky Beaver Bar and Burger, praised LTWC’s mission and highlighted the shared values of stewardship and community, “Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care’s dedication is a beacon to all of us. Their tireless work inspires us to step up and give back in meaningful ways. Our staff is an amazing team that works hard to serve our guests while keeping community at the center of everything we do.”

This $25,000 donation builds on Lucky Beaver’s continuing legacy of generosity. Over the years, Lucky Beaver Bar and Burger has contributed more than $250,000 to Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care and other local causes, underscoring its role as not only a destination for the area’s top food and gaming but also as a true community partner.

Reflecting on more than a decade of community involvement, Farrah added,
“Lucky Beaver is privileged to be part of the Stateline and Reno communities. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our patrons—locals and visitors alike—for their unwavering support, which makes it possible for us to give back at this level.”
