WATKINS GLEN, NY — What happens with a community comes together full-force and throws the “hottest party in the coolest town”? Incredible things! The support and generosity from this amazing, community-driven event culminated the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel presenting the American Red Cross with a check for $25,000.00.
The Red Cross received the donation check during a ceremony that took place earlier today at 1:00pm at the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel. For additional information on the ceremony please contact the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel at (607) 535-6116. The Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel thanks the generous sponsors and all who contributed their time, product and services to make the event a tremendous success.
How, might you ask, will the Red Cross put this donation to use? Specifically, the donation will benefit the Finger Lakes Chapter’s Disaster Relief Fund, which provides food, clothing, shelter and other necessities for victims of fires, floods and other disaster in the chapter’s six counties: Schuyler, Steuben, Chemung, Seneca, Yates and Wayne.
“On behalf of our board of directors, volunteers, staff and most importantly, the families we serve, thank you to the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel for their continued supports,” said Chapter Executive Director Brian McConnell. “I also want to extend our appreciation to the sponsors and members of the community who are essential to the success of this extraordinary event.”
The 2018 edition was the seventh year of the annual event. Since its inception, the Ice Bar has generated $125,000 for the American Red Cross.
