Local Eatery Celebrates Bryce Harper With 'Bryce Krispie Treats'

The Pineville Tavern is on the Bryce Harper train and is celebrating the superstar's arrival to Philly by supporting his foundation with a special treat.

The restaurant will be selling "Bryce Krispie Treats" with all proceeds benefiting Harper's Heroes, the player’s charitable foundation that helps children fighting cancer.

A play on the classic childhood snack, Bryce Krispie Treats have a red #3 representing Harper’s number and a beard, one of Harper's signature characteristics. The treats are $3 apiece at both The Pineville Tavern and The Pineville in Fishtown.

"Fans have shown their support for Harper through their words and wallets — selling out his jersey and snatching up Phillies tickets." Owner Drew Abruzzese said. "We plan to donate all the proceeds from the “Bryce Krispies” to Harper’s Heroes, the player’s charitable foundation, which was founded in 2013 to help children fighting cancer. We thought it would be a fun and tasty way to get behind our newest Phillies while benefitting his heartfelt cause.”

Harper launched Harper’s Heroes after witnessing cancer affect his high school best friend and several family members. The charity has partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to bring smiles to kids battling blood cancers while providing them with once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

The Pineville Tavern is located at 1098 Durham Rd, Pineville.
