Bark N' Brew 2017 A Success!!!
Wednesday, June 28, 2017
The 8th annual Bark N’ Brew charity fundraiser to benefit the Chautauqua County Humane Society (CCHS) was held on June 13th at the Southern Tier Brewing Company. The event fundraised over 19 thousand dollars for the animals awaiting adoption at CCHS. Money collected allows the shelter to continue lifesaving medical care, offer fee-waived adoption programs, and other adoption services year-round to the community.
Southern Tier Brewing Company is the generous host for the event with other major contributors including Ludwig Auctions, Greg Peterson, Pepsi Bottling Group of Jamestown, Jefferson Middle School, and the five stations of Media One Group.
“There is no better feeling than seeing the generosity of the community and the spirit of volunteerism come together at one of the best breweries in our country, Southern Tier Brewing Company (STBC), to support one common cause,” said Brian Papalia, Community Relations Director for CCHS. “It is because of STBC’s commitment and support of CCHS that this event continues to grow each year,” said Papalia.
Over 40 donors from the community made the live and chinese auctions a success. Some of the featured items included 100 cups of coffee from Tim Hortons, tickets to the upcoming Jim Gaffigan Comedy Show, and tickets to the LECOM Health Challenge web.com PGA tour at Peek’n Peak.
