Distillery’s Make-A-Wish Fundraiser Sure to Raise Spirits
2017 Make-A-Wish® fundraising event. Madeline Senkosky speaking in center.
YORK Wiggly Bridge Distillery has announced a philanthropic partnership with Make-AWish® Maine and Crossfit Harpoon for a special fundraising event. This event, titled “Raise the Bar/Barrel and Your Spirits” is a follow-up to last year’s successful fundraising effort. Inside the 1800-era barn, whiskey barrels and grain bags, among other distillery equipment, will replace standard gym equipment for a unique and fun fitness program coached by CrossFit Harpoon. The workout is accessible to all fitness levels but attendees must be 21 and older. A specialty cocktail will also be available to support the event.
One hundred percent of the $25 entry fee goes directly to the Maine Chapter of MakeA-Wish® and proceeds from the signature specialty cocktail will raise additional funds for the Make-A-Wish® Maine. The idea to create a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish® developed organically out of a friendship between Amanda Woods, who manages marketing for Wiggly Bridge Distillery (and also happens to be the daughterin-law of Wiggly Bridge Founder and Distiller, David Woods and wife of Wiggly Bridge Distiller, Dave Wood Jr.) and York Hospital Pediatrician, Dr. Kyla Scarponi, who joined the Board of Make-A-Wish® Maine in 2017.
“We wanted create a fun, local event to raise awareness and funds for Make-A-Wish® Maine. What could be more fun than working out with whiskey barrels and supporting a good cause — not to mention the delicious cocktails” says Woods. Adds Dr. Scarponi, “As a Make-A-Wish® Maine Board Member, one of my goals is to raise funds to make it possible to increase the number of wishes given to Maine children that suffer from life threatening illnesses. Studies have shown that children have a higher chance of recovery when they receive a wish, so these kinds of fundraising efforts are so vital.” See SPIRITS page 7...
