“This is an enormous opportunity for the Albuquerque community to benefit again from the worldwide phenomenon of Breaking Bad," Vernon's owner Michael Baird said in a statement on the event's website. "With this event and the creation of the Vernon’s Steakhouse Walter White Endowment Fund at the Albuquerque Community Foundation, Walter White’s legacy and final amends will have a positive impact on Albuquerque for many years to come."
Sheriff Dan Houston of the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Departments added: “Walter White has brought awareness to viewers about the problems associated with drug abuse and homelessness. If his death can generate financial donations to combat drug abuse and homelessness in Bernalillo County, then Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless is a well deserving recipient of those proceeds.”
