Cuckoo's Nest is Making A Difference
Breast Cancer Awarness Month
Together We Make a Difference: Thanks to our caring community, staff, and guests who participated in our breast cancer awareness fundraising initiatives through pink Prickly Pear Margaritas, pink merchandise, and our OktoberNest Spin to Win Wheel. Your support helped us raise $566.79 in October 2025, for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, honoring the memory of Lynne Unitas and supporting vital research for a cure.
Freezin' For A Reason
Team Cuckoo's Nest raised over $850 for a Heart-Warming Cause. On November 16, brave souls took an exhilarating plunge into the chilly waters of Long Island Sound at the Westbrook Elks to support Connecticut Special Olympics. Whether you donated money, took the dive in with our team, or cheered from the shoreline, your presence helped make a difference in the lives of Special Olympics athletes.
