BrewBQ Makes $10,000 Donation to the Otter Creek Animal Shelter

The Independence BrewBQ recently presented a check to our 2019 charity partner, the Otter Creek Animal Shelter, for $10,000. This marks the largest single donation from Independence BrewBQ to a charity partner to date. Funds for the $10,000 donation were made possible by generous event sponsors, sales of bike raffle tickets, sales of Craft Brew Zone passes and beverage purchases at the event.

“We are thrilled that this year’s event allowed us to make a donation of this kind. There were several factors that helped make this year’s event so successful. The sales were great, but the charity partner worked very hard to provide the number of volunteers we need to make the event run smoothly,” said Terry Gaumer, BrewBQ Committee Member.

A donation of $825 will also be made to the Buchanan County Four Seasons Trails Association. The funds for this donation were generated from R.A.S.H. Ride Too registrations.

Independence BrewBQ is now setting our sights on next year’s 15th Annual event and we will be looking for our 2020 charity partner. Do you know an organization in the area that can provide at least 35 volunteers and help us promote the event? Click here for more information.

Mark your calendars to attend the 15th annual Independence BrewBQ on Saturday, August 22, 2020!
