Bradenton Area Restaurant Presents Humane Society With Large Donation

From Humane Society of Manatee County:

Bradenton, FL - The Humane Society of Manatee County announced they received $ 1,100 from the Bearded Clam as the beneficiary of their Fun Run, June 25, 2016.

“It was an absolutely beautiful Saturday for the exciting fundraiser at The Bearded Clam Waterfront Restaurant & Tiki Bar in Sarasota, Fl. Owner Wesley Rose had a fun-filled Fun Run event for boaters raising money for the Humane Society of Manatee County. It started at 10 a.m. with a breakfast buffet for the participants before they headed off for a day of fun on the water” stated Wesley Rose.

“The groups went by boat to five restaurant locations (Swordfish Grill, Salty Dog, New Pass Grill, Bridge Tenders and Drift Inn) to draw a card for the best poker hand and a chance to win half of the proceeds. Everyone worked hard to coordinate, organize and volunteer their time to make the event successful. It was a lively day with energy abounding, music entertainment, 50/50 raffles and prize giveaways.”

The Humane Society of Manatee County has operated a no-kill facility since it’s founding in 1971. Humane Society of Manatee County is committed to leading Manatee County in fostering compassion and respect for all animals through care, education and collaboration.
