Lower Shore Land Trust and MCBP join for benefit, Tues.

(Nov. 24, 2016) Come out and celebrate Giving Tuesday at Berlin’s Burley Oak Brewery on Nov. 29 from 4-9 p.m. to support two local environmental nonprofit organizations – Lower Shore Land Trust (LSLT) and the Maryland Coastal Bays Program (MCBP).
MCBP is partnering with LSLT to host a happy hour at Burley Oak Brewery to promote the Giving Tuesday campaign, where individuals are encouraged to donate to area nonprofits.
Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore’s (CFES) has created the Giving Tuesday online giving day to consolidate local end-of-year charitable fundraising opportunities. For one day, there is a link provided to donate to over 60 area nonprofits, including MCBP and LSLT. It’s an easy one-stop shop to donate to local charities. The effort is known locally as “Shore Gives More” and those interested in donating can visit www.shoregivesmore.org.
Through sponsorships, the CFES has raised funds to contribute to some of the charities that are able to capture several support incentives. LSLT and MCBP are competing for the most donations during happy hour time, 4-7 p.m., so it is only fitting that they encourage donors to give while having fun.
For each person that donates as little as $5, a raffle ticket will be given to win a prize during the happy hour time slot. To be entered into the raffle, guests must be present at the event and show proof of donation. Mike Dryden will be providing music during happy hour and there will be appetizers from local restaurants.
MCBP works with local, federal and state agencies to help protect and preserve the Coastal Bays. For more information, visit www.mdcoastalbays.org. LSLT is dedicated to preserving rural lands, to promoting vibrant towns, and to building a more healthy and connected Eastern Shore. For more information, visit www.lowershorelandtrust.org.
