Annapolis will celebrate Australia Day by attending a benefit event at Fadó Irish Pub in Annapolis. Proceeds of the benefit will go directly to support victims and wildlife affected by the Australian bushfires. The event is sponsored by Katcef Brothers, Inc., the local Anheuser-Busch distributor and will be attended by Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley, who was raised in Australia.
The $5 donation will be split between two Australian charities: Australia Red Cross and WIRES, a wildlife rescue organization.
