10th Annual Alameda Hogmabay Pipe-athon Fundraiser Raises Over $4k for American Cancer Society

For the 10th year, Team Pipeathon went forth around 16 bars in Alameda on New Year's Eve (Hogmabay!), with Andy MacKay playing Auld Lang Syne on the pipes to the crowds, raising funds for American Cancer Society.  The total raised (including online, Venmo and cash on the night) was $4,301 - thanks to everyone who donated to this great cause!

Huge thanks to all of Team Pipeathon, including Jake Blues (Pep Montes), Elwoood Blues (Feargal MacKay), Sister Mary Stigmata (Tim Dense), Keelan the Celt (Keelan Good), and Pipemobile Driver Ken ‘Andretti’ Johnson.  Couldn’t have done it without you all!

And many thanks to all the bars and venues that welcomed us on the night!  We had a blast!
