In the spirit of March college basketball, a season filled with come-from-behind upsets and heartwarming underdog stories, BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse® (NASDAQ: BJRI) is proud to partner with Hav A Sole to donate sneakers to children in need and make a lasting and positive impact on communities across the country.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nDuring this year's annual college basketball tournament, BJ's Restaurants and Hav A Sole are launching a community program that is much more than a buzzer beater—it's a slam dunk when it comes to helping children in need.
