One of the things we love most about what we do at Fiction is bringing people together and giving back to the community that supports us.

Our September 18 concert with Soup Dogs was a great example of that. Thanks to everyone who joined us, we were proud to contribute $2,500 to Columbia Center Rotary’s Humanitarian Fund, supporting education and awareness around human trafficking.

Thank you to Soup Dogs for a fantastic night, our team for making it happen, and Columbia Center Rotary for the meaningful work they do. Proud to be part of this community.

How many of you went to the Soup Dogs Band concert on Sept 18 at Bookwalter Winery? 🙋‍♀️

It was a wonderful night of good music, a delightful venue, and beautiful weather! And a really great thing? Bookwalter owner John Bookwalter presented the band with a $2,500 check for Columbia Center Rotary's Humanitarian Fund, which provides education and awareness surrounding human trafficking.

Well done, boys!
