RALEIGH, N.C., Feb. 5, 2015 – Mims Distributing Company, a North Carolina wholesale beverage distributor, is partnering with Triangle Delta Waterfowl (TDW) for its Annual Banquet on Friday, Feb. 13. In order to raise awareness of the importance of environmental conservation, Mims Distributing will donate beer for the banquet. An ally in the company’s commitment to promoting safe and responsible drinking, Taxi Taxi will be available to provide rides after the event. The banquet will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the Kerr Scott Building on the NC State Fairgrounds.

For more than 50 years, Mims Distributing has been committed to being an environmental steward. In 2011 the company moved to a newly renovated facility, which includes one of the largest private solar rooftops in Wake County and bio-retention ponds to minimize on-site water consumption. Mims Distributing places a premium on water conservation and the future of waterfowl and waterfowl hunting, as water is a necessity to the successful production of beers and wines. Mims Distributing continually seeks to align themselves with organizations that share its values.

The TDW Annual Banquet allows Mims Distributing to contribute to this effort and raise conservation awareness within the greater Triangle community. Twenty-five percent of all profits raised at the banquet directly supports active and veteran military and youth hunting opportunities in North Carolina.
