Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions, Sedona Taphouse Give To Habitat

MAMARONECK, NY — The newly merged Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions partnered with the Sedona Taphouse of Mamaroneck to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity. Every Monday of every month, Sedona offered Steak Out for Charity. Each month they select one local charity or community service to support, by donating $1 for every order of their special $6 steak lunch or dinner.

During the month of January, the Lions and Sedona supported Habitat for Humanity of Westchester, matching dollar for dollar — up to $1,000. The first Monday set a donation record, organizers said. The following Mondays provided a total donation of $2,173. While scheduled for only the final four Mondays of the month, Sedona included receipts from all five Mondays to help reach more than $2,000.

On Tuesday, a check from both the Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions and Sedona was presented by Lions President Phil Oldham and Sedona co-owner Ron Duckstein to Habitat CEO Jim Killoran.

Based on the success of the partnership, the Lions and Sedona have agreed to seek future partnerships, organizers said.

The Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions are part of the International Lions Clubs, the largest service organization in the world and currently celebrating its 100th Anniversary. The club is one of 48 Lions clubs in Lions District 20-R2, which includes clubs from Staten Island, Manhattan, Bronx and lower Westchester.
