New Providence, Bahamas<\/em> \u2013 Jimmy\u2019s Wines & Spirits reprised its role as a major sponsor of the Annual Baark Golf Tournament this year.  Now in its second year, the tournament was held at the Ocean Club Golf Course in honour of the Royal Bahamian Potcake. \u201cMuch like our Sands Beer, the potcake is Truly Bahamian,\u201d noted Executive Sales and Marketing Manager Wellington Seymour \u201cand so it made sense for Jimmy\u2019s Wines & Spirits to come on board in support of this great event.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December, fifty-nine, two-person teams braved inclement weather to tee off for the opportunity to raise much-needed funding to support BAARK\u2019s ongoing projects. \u201cThe goal of this Golf Tournament was to raise $100,000 to support the ongoing operations of the BAARK! Mobile Clinic,\u201d noted BAARK Clinic Administrator Bonnie Young. \u201cWhat started off as a rainy day turned into a glorious day and exceeded this year\u2019s fundraising goal.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to offering golf enthusiasts a day of fierce but friendly competition on the greens, the day also gave participants a chance to see the organization\u2019s Mobile Vet Clinic at work. \u201cIt was really important for us to be able to show our partners the great work that we do on a daily basis.  We were able to perform as many as 19 spay & neuter surgeries during the tournament\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returning as a major highlight of the event were strategically placed refreshment stations that kept golfers hydrated with as much Sands Beer as they needed as well as a variety of Tito\u2019s Handmade Vodka cocktails courtesy of the specialty Tito\u2019s bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company\u2019s four-legged philanthropy did not stop there, however. Jimmy\u2019s and its Tito\u2019s Handmade Vodka brand made a significant donation to the Bahamas Humane Society – an organization with an established reputation as a protector, advocate, and educator on the rights of animals. The ten-thousand-dollar donation was presented during a special ceremony at the organization\u2019s Nassau headquarters. \u201cWe depend heavily on donations like these,\u201d said Percy Grant, Chief Inspector and Shelter Manager at the Bahamas Humane Society. \u201cThe support of partners like Jimmy\u2019s Wines & Spirits means that we\u2019re able to maintain our no-kill shelter which promotes the adoption and placement of otherwise unwanted animals into loving and protective homes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Grant, the funds supported the organization\u2019s \u2018Paws in the Air\u2019 campaign. The program has helped the humane society address the high influx of animals they receive and rehabilitate. \u201cThis generous donation towards our Paws in the Air campaign allowed us to send thirty-five lucky potcakes to the wonderful people at Rylie’s Rescue in Philadelphia. These airlifts help tremendously with our mission to find every dog and cat a loving home of their own,\u201d he explained. \u201cWithout the support of Jimmy\u2019s and Tito’s this flight would not have been possible.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the start of the new year, Jimmys Wines & Spirits is already looking forward to new partnerships with these NGOs. \u201cPart of our mandate as a Truly Bahamian company is to support causes and organizations that continue to do great work in the communities they serve\u201d noted Seymour. \u201cBoth these organizations have and continue to prove that they are advocates for our four-legged friends and we are glad to assist in any way we can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
