BENEFITING: American Cancer Society

THE STORY:

We did it yet again! The 3rd Annual Alameda Hogmabay! Pipe-athon ACS Fundraiser, was a great success, with Andy MacKay playing Auld Lang Syne on the bagpipes in every bar (17 total) in Alameda, California, on New Year’s Eve, raising funds for the American Cancer Society, and bringing a bit of traditional Scottish cheer to the Island City of Alameda.

Huge thanks to Team Pipe-athon for all your support, and especially for all wearing kilts on the night!!
