Bay Street Yard's 'Charitable Pour' bourbon dinner raises $22,650, benefiting 4KIDS

FORT MYERS, Fla. - EntSun -- Bay Street Yard, downtown Fort Myers' popular outdoor entertainment venue, raised $22,650 at its sold-out Charitable Pour Bourbon Dinner on Jan. 21.

Proceeds from the event benefited 4KIDS, a faith-based nonprofit in South Florida dedicated to providing hope, homes and healing for children and families in crisis. The organization focuses on foster care, prevention, therapy and independent living, guided by its vision of "A Home for Every Child."

"It is so important for us to give back to organizations that are truly making a difference in our community," said Greg Hood, general manager of Bay Street Yard. "Being able to bring members of our community together for an intimate evening while supporting the life-changing work of 4KIDS was such an honor."

Funds raised during the evening will directly support 4KIDS in furthering its mission of supporting children and their families across Charlotte, Collier, Lee, Hendry and Glades counties.

"Hosting this fundraiser was more than just another event—it was an investment in the lives of children in foster care. We're deeply thankful to Bay Street Yard for partnering with us to create lasting impact through their generosity," said Rick Jacobs, executive director, 4KIDS of Southwest Florida.
