Paulding, OH – The Paulding County Trails Project recently partnered with Beer Barrel Pizza & Grill in Van Wert, OH, for a successful fundraising event, raising $423.55 to support the development of local trails.
As part of the “Dine & Donate” program, 20% of sales from participating diners were donated directly to the Trails project. The funds will be used for the design and engineering costs of the project, benefiting both residents and visitors to the area.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the community’s support and to Beer Barrel Pizza & Grill for their partnership,” said Erica Noggle, Executive Director of the Paulding Area Chamber of Commerce. “These contributions will help us move forward with our vision of building a vibrant trail system that not only encourages outdoor recreation but also strengthens our local economy by attracting more visitors to area businesses.”
The Paulding County Trails Project is focused on creating a network of trails for walking, biking, and outdoor activities, which will enrich the county’s quality of life and foster economic growth by drawing tourists and outdoor enthusiasts.
The next fundraising event for the Paulding County Trails Project will be a t-shirt fundraiser in partnership with Heier Threads. Supporters can order exclusive ‘Trail Crew’ t-shirts online at www.heierthreads.com/products/paulding-county-trail-crew-tee.
