On Thursday evening, Generation Randolph County hosted a Yappy Hour at The Jabberwock Bar & Grill in downtown Elkins to raise funds for the Randolph County Humane Society. “We figured this would be a fun way to get people out of the house and just have something different to do, while helping a local non-profit organization,” said Christina Hall, Networking Chair of Generation Randolph County.
Some 25 young professionals came out despite the weather to support the cause. Generation Randolph didn’t set a goal for the event. They just wanted to raise as much as possible. Along with Humane Society board members, Generation Randolph was able to raise approximately $650 at the event in monetary and item donations. The Humane Society says fundraisers like this help keep their doors open and provide the animals with proper care.
Randolph County Humane Society of ElkinsWV is a small, non-profit animal shelter serving Elkins and the surrounding area in Randolph County, WV. The organization serves around 2,000 homeless cats, dogs, and other animals per year.
Generation Randolph County is a regional chapter of Generation West Virginia, a statewide organization working to attract and retain young talent in the Mountain State. Contact Generation Randolph for more information or on how to get involved.
