Outdoor Patio Fundraiser to Help Abused & Neglected Dogs!

Hey all, we raised a lot of money for a very worthwhile organization during our holiday party in Dec and I wanted to help raise more money for this great cause. Come out on Thurs, June 19 starting at 7pm at Barcocina in Lakeview to have some fun while supporting a great organization!

The organization I'm raising money for is New Beginnings International Sporting Dog Rescue. The organization helps rescue and rehabilitate abandoned, neglected and abused hunting dogs by providing shelter, vaccinations, medical treatments and other needed care and, ultimately, finding them adoptive homes in the United States and elsewhere. The organization is focused on the rescue of Sporting breeds, which are (unfortunately) typically viewed solely as "tools" in many countries and are often mistreated and/or abandoned when no longer considered useful. The organization was recently featured on CBS2 Chicago.
