Almost all large and many smaller companies have formal donation processes to assist the many valuable community groups that support the neighborhoods where they do business. A quick call to the service desk at any of these locations can give you information on submitting to a particular company. Some advice- Give them plenty of notice. Many companies decide on their donations weeks or months in advance. Some businesses only give to registered non-profits. Provide your 501(c)3 number if you have one. Be sure to be prepared to provide the business with value they can understand. While logo placement on site is important for many, illustrating the other benefits to the company are also important. Be specific. If you’re doing a walk for 200 people, ask for 200 bottles of water, 4 cases of bananas, 2 cases of apples, etc rather than just "refreshments". This helps with budgeting.

Join us on Sept. 13, for the Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk—a one day event dedicated to conquering all forms of cancer. With five routes to choose from that range from the full Boston Marathon® course to a 3-mile option, it’s a great event for the whole family. Since the first Walk in 1989, participants have raised more than $60 million to support cancer research and care at Dana-Farber.

Not only was this event a huge success, but it was also a blast! We had an amazing time meeting all of you and your beloved canine companions. It was so nice to see the community turn out in in such large numbers (over 50 dogs were present!) to support the Humane Soceity of Yates County.

Vendors and demonstrators from far and near were in attendence with their wares and services; they included Ruff Stuff Dog Toys, For Claudia’s Sayke (natural dog care products), K-9 Kids, and those featured below.

* A special thank you to Yates County Sheriff’s Deputy Brandon Jensen and his canine partner Argo, a Belgian Malimois (see pictures) for coming up to demonstrate police dog work and training

We are also indebted to Gail Furst, from K-9 Healers, who spent a lot of time helping us to organize and find donations for this event (Gail is pictured below in bright green Dog Walk T-Shirt)

Also available for sale was a custom T-Shirt, in a variety of colors, featuring the dogs of Hunt Country Vineyards – we still have a few for sale in our Tasting Room.

A portion of the proceeds from all sales (vendors and Hunt Country’s Wine & Gift Shop), as well as the registration fee & raffle fees, were donated to the Humane Society of Yates County – totaling more than $1,000!

Attendees received unlimited walking time on our premarked trails through the vineyards and woods and a complimentary winetasting (grape juice for the kids!). Here are some fantastic pictures (courtesy of Tasting Room employee Charlene Blankley) of the event…
