Gunners Run at the Piazza at Schmidts will host a special fundraising event benefiting New Leash on Life USA, a new generation dog-training program, on September 1 from 5:30-8:30 p.m.
The event, aptly titled “Dog Days of Summer,” will feature a load of fun dog-centric activities including a Puppy Kissing Booth, a 50/50 Raffle and Chinese Auction.
Awesome food and drink specials will be provided by Gunners Run with a portion of the proceeds benefiting New Leash on Life. Choose from any of the following drink/food combos for only $5:
• 1 pint of Allagash & the Trio of Bean Spread
• 1 pint of Victory Lager & Buffalo Wings
• 1 pint of Victory Summer Love & Quesadillas
Naturally at an event such as this, you’re encouraged to bring your pooch! Gunners Run is a dog-friendly establishment that offers, believe it or not, a menu of assorted dog foods.
New Leash on Life is a non-profit whose mission is to improve the lives of prison inmates and save the lives of dogs. The program’s goal is to train and socialize the dogs in order to enhance their adoptability, while helping inmates learn to train and care for dogs. The shelter dogs become well trained, healthy, and available for adoption and inmates learn a sense of responsibility and unconditional love by caring for the canines.
Come out to Gunners Run on September 1 to help out man and his best friend.
