Great Barrington, Mass. (November 30, 2016) — William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty today announced that the firm’s Great Barrington brokerage hosted a restaurant crawl on November 19, 2016 entitled “Taste and Toast,” to raise money for local charities. The community event took place in downtown Great Barrington, where several restaurants offered a sampling of food and cocktails with the purchase of a $35 ticket. All proceeds benefitted the charities.
Local charities included Charley’s Fund-Fighting Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Construct, an organization supporting housing in the community for over 40 years, the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center and Extra Special Teas, a community-inspired tea house designed to provide opportunity and bring people with “extra special needs” together.
Participants checked in on the day of the event at the firm’s Great Barrington brokerage, and proceeded to the restaurant stops, which included GB Eats, Castle Street Café, the Well Restaurant & Bar, Fuel, Extra Special Teas and Siam Square for small appetizers and a cocktail. Some eateries offered desserts and tea.
“I am extremely proud of our Great Barrington team for organizing this event, and soliciting local restaurants to come together as a community, and participate in our efforts to give back,” said Kristine Newell, manager of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty’s Great Barrington brokerage. “All charities supported provide tremendous aid and services to those in need. I would like to thank all participating restaurants, as well as anyone who purchased a ticket. Your involvement helped to make the ‘Taste and Toast’ event a great success.”
