‘WHISKEY FOR THE WHISKERED’ at Mandalay Place

Ri Rá Irish Pub hosts a spirits-centric fundraiser for Community Cat Angels…

With so much economic uncertainty and turmoil, charitable organizations are facing serious challenges. VEGAS 411 proudly supports community services for children, families, and animals, so we’re spreading the word on another wonderful event:

WHISKEY FOR THE WHISKERED, a benefit for Community Cat Angels.

“I am holding a whiskey dinner fundraiser on May 29th at Ri Rá Irish Pub (Shoppes at Mandalay Place) for a cat rescue I volunteer for. After the dinner and tasting, we’ll have an auction of rare whiskies, many of which are from my personal collection.” – Wally Lang, Community Cat Angels

 

COMMUNITY CAT ANGELS is a nonprofit organization that rescues abandoned and neglected community cats. They specialize in providing rehabilitation, health care, and love. Community cats are susceptible to harsh weather conditions, predators, infections, and diseases that can result in a painful existence.

CCA‘s sole focus is to address the growing crisis of Las Vegas’ feral and stray cat populations. It’s comprised solely of volunteers. They receive no government funding and rely on the generosity of volunteers and donors to support their programs. Plus, they hold special events like the upcoming WHISKEY FOR THE WHISKERED dinner. Here’s the announcement:

Community Cat Angels is inviting whiskey enthusiasts to indulge in a selection of fine spirits along with culinary pairings prepared by Chef James Sawyer of Ri Ra to create an evening of delightful flavors and experience the harmonization of food and spirits. Attendees have the opportunity to bid on rare whiskeys in the silent auction as well. Select the link below to purchase your tickets.
There will be live music after dinner by Dave Rooney & Friends. Feel free to stay and make it a full night on the town. Secure your reserved spot and have a fun night with other whiskey connoisseurs, all the while helping to rescue local cats in need of help.
Special thanks to Ri Ra Irish Pub for hosting our fundraiser, along with Chef James Sawyer, who enthusiastically supported this event. A big and heartfelt thank you to all the amazing people who donated whiskey, Khoury’s Fine Wine & Spirits for our door prize raffle item, and to our team of incredible volunteers who are making this event possible.
