It was a beautifully sunny Saturday afternoon when 150 neighbors and friends enjoyed the annual Bartram Trail Rotary Pub Crawl in Bartram Walk. Participants took advantage of adult beverages at five establishments, hoped for a winning hand in the poker run, checked their raffle tickets to see what they may have won, and made new friends during the April 5 event.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support we received from the community for this year’s Pub Crawl fundraiser. Thanks to a fantastic turnout and the generosity of our attendees, we raised significant funds that will go directly to organizations making a real difference locally,” said Rotary Club President Molly Paxton. “We couldn’t have done it without the amazing local businesses who hosted us — Moon Dog Pie House, 2nd Bay Brewing, Bono’s Bar-B-Que, La Nopalera, and Iggy’s Grill & Bar — and everyone who bought tickets and joined the fun. Every year since the Crawl began in 2009, it’s just gotten better, and we thank everyone who helped make it such a success.”
The combination of ticket sales, sponsorships from area businesses, and contributions from the hosting bars and restaurants will translate into almost $15,000 for Rotary’s charitable efforts locally and internationally.
