Let’s build a house! Sybaris tries to keep its charitable giving close to home; this is why you don’t see us involved with too many large-scale organizations. One of our past employees told us about their fantastic experience with the Habitat for Humanity. We were intrigued. Was is possible to raise a decent amount of money for such a worthwhile cause AND have it all stay in Albany? Yes, yes it is, but we need all of you to help us raise the money to have Habitat build a house here in Albany.
Parr Lumber has generously offered a match for all money raised up to $10,000! Please make reservations for the dinner (ALL of the proceeds raised goes to Habitat) or donate money by clicking on the link. Let’s see what we can accomplish together for this wonderful nonprofit! $50/person $75/with wine pairings. ALL proceeds go directly to the Albany Habitat for Humanity Reservations are required (541)928-8157. https://www.facebook.com/SybarisBistro/https://www.facebook.com/SybarisBistro/
