Kentucky Ag Connection - 02/11/2016
Sugarlands Distilling Company, crafters of award-winning spirits in East Tennessee, has announced the 2016 MoonShare Year of Giving Grant recipients.
After one month of public voting, 12 nonprofit organizations from across the U.S. have been chosen to receive $5,000 each from Sugarlands Distilling Company to help further their charitable missions.
In addition to the monetary award, each of the 12 organizations will be assigned a "Month to Shine" where their efforts will be highlighted on Sugarlands Distilling Company's website and social media platforms.
"It's an honor to have so many great organizations apply for the program, and I am thrilled by the outpouring of public support they each received," said Courtney DeLaura, director of the MoonShare program. "Our company likes to pay homage to the people
who inhabited these mountains long before us. Giving back and lending a helping hand was important to them then, and it is important to us today."
Sugarlands Distilling Company made 2015 its first annual "Year of Giving" by launching MoonShare, a nationwide giveback component of the East Tennessee distillery that helps nonprofit organizations positively influence their communities through MoonShare
grants, fundraisers, and donations.

The 2016 MoonShare recipients include Appalachian Bear Rescue, Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont, Big Fluffy Dog Rescue and Camp Sunshine.
