ABC Alpena’s Bird Center sanctuary hosted a fundraising event at Samantha’s on 2nd on Sunday to support food costs, medical costs, and housing needs and repairs, according to Ashley Kolnowski, the sanctuary’s founder and president. The sanctuary takes injured and displaced birds and rehabilitates them so Kolnowski can release them back into the wild.

In total, Kolnowski said 55 people showed up to the event and sanctuary made about $1,800 in total with food sales, ticket sales, and donations.
