Come and Sip at 2025 Paws to Taste

Raise a glass, raise some funds! Portage APL is thrilled to announce its upcoming Paws to Taste Fundraiser, an evening where community spirit meets fine flavors. Guests will savor carefully curated wines and craft beers while supporting homeless animals.


“This event is about more than tastings—it’s about togetherness,” said Chalan Lowry, Executive Director. “Every sip helps us pour back into the community, making a direct impact on homeless animals. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast, a craft beer fan, or simply someone who loves a good night out for a great cause, this event has something for everyone.”


The fundraiser will feature local wineries and breweries, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and opportunities to learn from experts—all while contributing to a cause that matters. Bid on silent auction items, 50/50, wine pull, and a lottery raffle tree. Your help is important around the holidays and with winter, our needs increase.


Perhaps this would be the perfect office party? Treat senior staff or extended family to a night out. Buy a whole table for 10 that will include food and tasting tickets. Sponsorships are available and welcome!
