As Dogs on the Deck recently enjoyed the last of its second summer of fundraising for local organizations and charitable causes, it did not disappoint.
“We were able to raise $3,329 that was given to our beneficiaries,” says LeeAnn Brown, Long X Liquor Store general manager.
For the last two summers, the Watford City Community Benefit Association (WCCBA), which operates the Long X Liquor Store, has hosted $5 hot dogs, chips and a soft drink in exchange for a freewill donation to local causes.
“Each week for eight weeks, we have a different charitable cause that we provide proceeds from the night to,” says Brown.
While the event originated with the intent to help create a sense of community, it’s underlying purpose is to contribute to organizations that support the community.
“Our other purpose is to bring awareness to other non-profit organizations that need money,” Brown says.
