First 'Eat, Drink And Be Merry' Month Raises $25K For Kin Wellness

BUCKINGHAM TOWNSHIP, PA — The Kin Wellness Center's First Annual Bucks County Eat, Drink and Be Merry Month raised nearly $25,000, drawing the support of 32 popular restaurants and bars across Bucks County.

During the month-long event, each location created a special dish or drink and offered a generous proceed split to Kin which supports local Bucks County cancer community and their caregivers.

“Our first year exceeded our expectations and we ended up having very strong participation from the local restaurant community. People across Bucks County came out in droves to eat, drink and be (responsibly) merry, making this event a complete success that fulfills our 'By The Community. For the Community' mantra. We are looking forward to bringing this event back for year two in 2024,” said Keith Fenimore, Executive Director of Kin.
