Jason Cherry, owner of the three area Mission Escape Rooms could not sit back and watch Australia burn. Scientists at the University of Sydney estimate more than half a billion animals are impacted by the fires and millions have died. So, just as he did when he founded the Siblings of Autism he stepped up.
I wanted to play a small role in a big cause, and I hope this day of donations and giving can serve as a catalyst for other small business owners
On January 20, 2020, Cherry earmarked 100% of the sales for every Mission Escape Room mission to be donated to WIRES to benefit the wild animals displaced and injured in the fires. And the event was a resounding success with $7502.70 raised! We spoke with Jason Cherry, “I wanted to play a small role in a big cause, and I hope this day of donations and giving can serve as a catalyst for other small business owners”
There is another chance to help the animals on Saturday the 25th at Fado Irish Pub & Restaurant. Katcef Brothers, Fado, and the City of Annapolis are sponsoring a benefit from 1pm to 5pm. A $5 donation at the door is suggested and there will be discounted drinks, a silent auction, live music featuring Dublin 5, and rumor has it– a koala! This is a family friendly event and 100% of the proceeds raised will be split between WIRES and the Australian Red Cross!
