Mike Loudon Hosts 'Twenty Deuce Scholarship Event' to Support Connecticut's Student Athletes

23 January 2023

Mike Loudon, a resident of Milford, is using his passion for fashion and his social media platform to support local businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. With 12 years of experience in the beverage industry, Loudon has connections with businesses around the state and has started posting video reviews of local restaurants and bars on his social media channel, "Twenty Deuce TV."

Recently, he set his sights on helping a local pizzeria, Fuoco Coal Fired Apizza, which had been forced to temporarily close due to a fire. To raise awareness and funds for the restaurant's repairs, Loudon plans to release t-shirts with a Keith Haring-inspired 80s design in February, with proceeds going to Fuoco. Additionally, he has previously raised funds for causes such as the Connecticut Food Bank and breast cancer awareness.

In addition to his efforts to support local businesses and charities, Mike Loudon is also using his platform to support the next generation of athletes. On February 18th, he will be hosting the "Twenty Deuce Scholarship Event" at the Orange Ale House, where he will be awarding scholarships to Connecticut student athletes who exemplify the qualities of a true student athlete. The event will take place from 5-9PM. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and interact with the scholarship recipients, and learn more about their achievements and aspirations. The Twenty Deuce Scholarship is another way that Mike Loudon is giving back to the community and helping young athletes pursue their dreams.


We invite you to join us at the Twenty Deuce Scholarship Event on February 18th at the Orange Ale House and be a part of supporting the future of Connecticut's student athletes. This is a cause that is very important to us and our community and we would love for you to come out and participate. Your support will help these young athletes pursue their dreams and make a difference in their lives. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to make a difference!
