Audubon Hosting Warren Gives Fundraiser Today

The Audubon Community Nature Center is hosting a fundraising event as part of today’s Warren Gives fundraiser.

The programs are in addition to the classroom programs already taking place within Warren County schools from Sheffield to Youngsville. Audubon will host a basket giveaway and celebration at Chloe’s Creamery, 334 Pennsylvania Ave. W. in Warren from 4 to 6:30 p.m. today. Those who donate to Audubon while at Chloe’s Creamery during the fundraiser will receive a free junior-sized ice cream cone.
