FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. – This weekend marks the unofficial start to summer, and with Memorial day just two days away, one local restaurant is choosing to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, by helping local veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Matanzas on the Bay is hosting Bluegrass, Brew, and BBQ to benefit Operation Open Arms.  The non-profit helps veterans who are suffering from PTSD.

Last year, the event raised more then $2,000. This year, they hope to raise near $5,000.

The event begins around noon Saturday, and will last through the night. Local music will be played, and you can wash it all down with a beer from the Fort Myers Brewing Co.

The restaurant will also have a BBQ buffet, with 50 percent of the proceeds benefiting the non-profit.
