The famous Bavarian Inn Restaurant in Frankenmuth, Michigan, selected Michigan AgrAbility as its annual charity for 2021. Throughout the year, Bavarian Inn held fundraising events and gathered donations. Employees contributed through designated giving. Events included a bike night, dunk tank, holiday open house, candy sale, and donation boxes. Bavarian Inn matched the employee payroll deduction dollars.

Hospitality employee Brik Rupprecht had suggested AgrAbility as the charity recipient. As a student, he was a past chairman of the AGR Beef Preview Show benefiting MI AgrAbility at Michigan State University. Bavarian Inn's generous gift of over $15,000 will provide financial support to numerous farmers this year. Thank you, Bavarian Inn staff and guests, for supporting farmers!
