Fundraising Night at Brack’s
Wed, November 13
11 AM - 12 AM
Join us for a special fundraising event at Bracks on November 13th to support the APCSM! It's a delicious way to help animals in need—just dine in or order takeout, and a portion of your purchase will be donated to the shelter.
How it Works:
The event runs all day from 11:00 AM to 12:00 AM.
Simply present a copy of our APCSM fundraiser voucher—either printed or on your phone—to your server or when placing a takeout order.
This applies to all dine-in, takeout, or gift card purchases, and yes, even alcohol!
You can also participate through Bracks’ online ordering, Grubhub, or DoorDash. For third-party orders, just give Bracks a call to let them know your order should contribute to the APCSM fundraiser.
At the end of the night, 20% of all voucher-related sales will be donated to APCSM. The more people who participate, the more funds we can raise to support animals in need!
Spread the Word: Please share the voucher with friends, family, coworkers, and on social media. Bracks will also be posting the voucher on their Facebook page on the day of the event.
