Pints & Paws Wake Forest Young Professionals Social
2025-10-02 17:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Blackbird Brewery, 3608 Rogers Branch Rd #101, Wake Forest, 27587, United States
We’re bringing together two of our favorite things: great beer and great company. We’re hosting a Wake Forest Young Professionals (40 & Under) Social for a laid-back evening of craft brews, networking, and giving back—with a special focus on supporting our friends at Saving Grace, a non-profit dedicated to helping homeless animals in our community find permanent, loving homes.
Here’s how you can get involved (and get rewarded):

Bring a donation of dog food, pet supplies, or canned goods, and your first beer is on the Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce.
Bring your pup! Dogs are welcome, so feel free to let your four-legged sidekick tag along.
Connect and mingle with fellow young professionals who share your passion for both career growth and community impact.

Whether you’re new to the area, looking to grow your network, or just want to unwind with like-minded people over a cold pint, this evening is for you. There’s no cost to attend—just bring a donation and some good vibes!
