REALTORS and Affiliates raised $4,616.10 in just three hours for area food pantries, at our annual Central Battle of the Bartenders.  We thank all of the volunteers and their passionate friends and family who did this incredible work. Congratulations to Jessie Downer and Jessica Rizzo of the ‘Double Shot of Jess’ for raising the most money, $2,303 for the Pittsfield South Community Food Pantry.  WINNERS in our heart!  We also honor the Pour Protectors, Cortney Dupont, Jim Thurston, Courtney Smith and Kaylin Marie Choquette.  They took their time slinging drinks for tips to help the BCC Campus Cupboard and raised a SUPERHERO amount of $1,789.34!!! And to our TIPsy Zebras, Barbara Osborne and Natalie Rose jumped in at the last minute and raised $523 for the Hinsdale Food Pantry.  If you weren’t able to attend, have fun and lend your help to those on the front lines providing food for those in need – we hope to see you at the GOAT in North Adams next Wednesday! (Formerly Mingos).

We also thank our RCS Committee Volunteers from Trustco Bank, Phil Celentano and Kori Forrest for serving as money counters for this event.  It sure was helpful!  And a special shout out to event workers, Sue O’Brien, Mariah Worth (RCS chair), Paula McLean, Nick Geranios and Patricia Molina.  Make sure next time you go to Proprietor’s Lodge you tell them the REALTORS appreciate their generosity and hard work on this event!
