Eat Here holiday event to benefit dog rescue

Moonracer No Kill Animal Rescue has paired up with Eat Here and The Islander newspaper to hold a benefit for its Give a Dog a Home fundraising campaign.

The benefit will coincide with the Holmes Beach downtown holiday walk and will be held 5-7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4, at the restaurant, 5315 Gulf Drive.

With the campaign, the nonprofit rescue operation founded and operated by Lisa Williams, stands to raise $20,000 by Dec. 31. The money would be dedicated to providing a compassionate facility for homeless pets.

Bradenton Beach residents John and Lee Anne Metz have offered to match donations — dollar for dollar up to $10,000 — in the giving challenge.

Cocktails, lite bites and beverages will be served.

Tax-deductible contributions may be made to Moonracer No Kill, P.O. Box 2103, Holmes Beach FL 34218.
