Tickets Now On Sale for Shelter’s Steak and Eggs Fundraiser

Tickets are now on sale for the Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter’s next fundraiser – Breakfast at Longhorn Steakhouse on Saturday, June 25.

Tickets are $15 per person and go on sale this week at Longhorn Steakhouse in Lavonia, the animal shelter on Bear Creek Road, Pinnacle Bank branches in Franklin and Hart Counties, as well as from shelter Board members.

The Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter is raising money to help pay for a new adoption wing.

According to Shelter Board member Pam Stone, they need to raise about $450,000 to complete the new addition.

Stone said the restaurant doesn’t usually offer breakfast but they are making an exception on the 25th.

“We’ll be serving steak, eggs, grits, and biscuits, which also includes beverages – tea, coffee, orange juice, and soft drinks,” Stone explained. “And Wendy, the manager has said she will also give a coupon for a free appetizer, an $11 value, (the next time they visit) to our guests that Saturday as well. So, that’s a wonderful gift to offset the price of the breakfast, which is already a terrific deal.”

Stone said there will be two seatings that Saturday morning, at 8a and 9a and each seating can accommodate up to 150 people.

Additionally, there will also be a raffle for a gift basket filled with pet products and other goodies for those who attend to enter.

Stone said once complete, the new addition will separate adoptable dogs from those that had just been turned in.

Stone said they hope to have the new wing finished and open by the end of the year.

Again, tickets to the steak and eggs breakfast fundraiser at Longhorn Steakhouse are $15 each and will be available later this week at Longhorn in Lavonia, Pinnacle Bank, the Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter, and from any shelter board member.

Anyone with questions may call the shelter at 706-356-5363.
