(graphic design by Steve Krason)On Saturday, August 22 from noon 'til 3:00 p.m., join me and my good friends at Juicy Wine Co. for The 1st Annual Pug Chug. Swirl and sip a bunch of super summer wines that pair perfectly with scrumptious summer dishes like hand-dipped corn dogs and char-grilled hot dogs, all for a great cause—saving Pugs. There will be a silent auction with fun prizes including a chance to visit the set of Check, Please! to watch a taping. All proceeds benefit Northern Illinois Pug Rescue & Adoption - NIPRA.
NIPRA is a non-profit organization that exists to assist the community in placing any needy Pug dog, regardless of age or health in a permanent, loving home. All adoption fees and donations go solely for the rescue, care, and placement of mistreated, unwanted or homeless Pugs. As some of you may know, Charles and I are the proud parents of a Pug, Mr. Haruki Murakami, therefore this charity hits close to home for us and we are very happy to support them.
Click here to purchase tickets ($45 per person). Unfortunately we will not be able to accommodate our furry friends at the event.
If you would like to donate an auction item, please email me at lettucewine@gmail.com . The Pugs and I would forever be grateful!
Special thanks to Rodney Alex and Juicy Wine Co. and Jill Toporkiewicz from NIPRA for hosting and helping me organize and plan this event. It's going to be a ton of fun and we hope to see you there!
Oh my gosh! I have two pugs - what a great idea for a fundraiser. I am out of town that weekend, otherwise I would absolutely be there. Good luck and hope you raise tons of money for our little pug friends.
