Coach Wooden’s favorite restaurant needs help.

UCLA Men’s Basketball coach Mick Cronin gets it.

Tuesday night, he tweeted about a GoFundMe which has been set up to help VIP’s Cafe survive the COVID-19 pandemic.

VIP’s Cafe is the Van Nuys restaurant which was Coach Wooden’s favorite place and, like so many businesses, it’s facing trouble surviving without customers being able to dine in.

Enter Coach Cronin.

He tweeted this on Tuesday evening:

Mick Cronin @CoachMickCronin

In honor of Coach Wooden, please join me in helping his favorite local restaurant survive (VIP's Cafe in Tarzana). #GoBruins

It’s just the latest indication that Cronin gets it.

As of this morning, almost $7,000 has been raised. If you’re financially able, please give what you can.


Go Bruins!
