PURDYS — At The Blazer Pub, the shamrock continues to be a good luck symbol for Friends of Karen.
Beautiful glittering Shamrocks, all hand-decorated by volunteers at Friends of Karen, are being sold at the Blazer Pub, and at other eateries across the tri-state region. These green, three-leaf paper clovers will bestow luck on their buyers, and raise money for Friends of Karen, a children’s charity that provides support for families caring for children with cancer.
Tommy Hunt, the affable bartender at The Blazer, encourages patrons to buy shamrocks and he organizes a live auction. The sale of shamrocks began in early February and will conclude with a live auction on St. Paddy’s day at 7 p.m. on March 17.
This is the 13th year The Blazer Pub is supporting Friends of Karen, and has raised almost $37,000.
“In these tough economic times, buying a shamrock is a really easy way to make a difference in someone’s life,” said Gwen Salmo, Friends of Karen Special Events Coordinator.
The Blazer Pub is located on Route 22 in Purdys. Other participating establishments in North County include: The Quaker Tavern, Chappaqua, and Horse & Hound, North Salem. For more information, visit www.friendsofkaren.org.
Friends of Karen, headquartered in Purdys, provides financial assistance, emotional and advocacy support for children with life threatening illnesses and their families.
