Wonder Gardens announces Wonder on Tap fundraiser

Wonder Gardens is raising a glass for wildlife with Wonder on Tap, a collaborative brewery fundraiser with Ankrolab Brewing Company and Chubby Mermaid Brewing Co. benefiting the nonprofit.

Wonder on Tap will include two August events featuring games and activities, prize drawings, animal encounters and more. Both breweries are kid-friendly, and Wonder Gardens will provide educational activities for children at the events.

The first event will take place Friday, Aug. 7, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Ankrolab Brewing, located at 3555 Bayshore Drive in Naples. The brewery will donate $1 from each select special craft beer purchase, $2 from each select special crafted cocktail purchase and $3 from each select food truck purchase. Ankrolab Brewing will also have live entertainment by Nostaljah throughout the evening and a cornhole tournament benefiting Wonder Gardens. Registration is $30 per two-person team.

The second event will take place Friday, Aug. 14, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Chubby Mermaid Brewing Co., located at 28292 Industrial Road, Unit 1 in Bonita Springs. The brewery will donate $1 from each select special craft beer purchase, and an ax-throwing station will be set up outside.

Proceeds from both events will support Wonder Gardens' operations, helping provide daily care for resident animals while preserving the nonprofit's historic botanical collection.
