FRONT STREET RESTAURANT BENEFIT

GENERATES $11,000 FOR WILD CARE

Provincetown, MA – On November 3rd, Front Street restaurant owners Donna
Allperti, and Kathy Cotter hosted an exquisite 5-course dinner and wine
pairing in honor of WILD CARE INC., a wildlife rehabilitation center
located in Eastham. The dinner generated over $11,000 in support of WILD
CARE’S mission of rehabilitating and releasing sick, injured, and orphaned
wildlife. “This fundraiser has become a wonderful tradition for Wild Care.
We filled the restaurant with kind-hearted and generous patrons, many of
whom come to this event every year. We are so thankful for Donna and
Kathy’s generosity”, states WILD CARE Executive Director, Stephanie Ellis.
“WILD CARE is dependent on public donations. We do not receive state,
federal, or municipal funding, and the cost of running WILD CARE for one
month during the summer months is upward of $18,000. In 2015, we
rehabilitated a total of 1,276 animals. As of today, we have already
received over 1,300 animals. With the pending closure of the Cape Wildlife
Center in Barnstable, we are going to see an influx of animals in need. I
believe this is going to be a record year for Wild Care. There are so many
animals that need our help.” WILD CARE would like to extend a special
thanks to Front Street owners, Donna Allperti and Kathy Cotter, and their
wonderful staff, Emily Flax for coordinating the event, and to all joined
us for this intimate evening. To make a donation to Wild Care, visit

Front Street Restaurant is located on 230 Commercial Street, Provincetown,

508-487-9715 http://frontstreetrestaurant.com

WILD CARE’s wildlife rehabilitators treat birds, mammals and reptiles
brought to the center, with the goal of releasing them back into the wild
when they are capable of independent survival. Through public education,
WILD CARE works to prevent wildlife casualties and works to engage the
community in conservation through volunteerism. Since our founding WILD
CARE has accepted over 22,000 wild creatures, representing over 275 species
of native birds, mammals and reptiles.
