Raising Pints and Funds for Sonoma Wildfire Relief
On Saturday, Nov. 18 Thirteen local breweries will team up to help raise funds to support those impacted by the devastating wildfires in Sonoma County.
Castle Island Brewing Co., Brick & Feather Brewery, Exhibit ‘A’ Brewing, Harpoon Brewery, Idle Hands Craft Ales, Mayflower Brewing Co., Moon Hill/Gardner Ale House, Night Shift Brewing, River Styx, Saltbox Kitchen Brewery, Sam Adams, Trillium Brewing and True North Ale Co. will donate a $1 for every pint sold in their taprooms to the King Ridge Foundation.
The King Ridge Foundation, a Santa Rosa-based 501(c)3 non-profit, was founded in 2009 to raise money to support local youth development organizations. During times of heightened community need, its mission expands to focus on restoring normalcy in the community.
Today, they have teamed up with our friends at Russian River Brewing Company, to serve as a nimble nonprofit entity to address the community's most pressing needs. One hundred percent of brewery donations made through the “Sonoma Pride” fundraising initiative will be used locally in Sonoma County.
“We are grateful to the Massachusetts brewing community for raising funds to provide relief to the victims of the current wildfire outbreak --- many who have lost their homes,” says Katie Stinchon, executive director of the Mass Brewers Guild. “We are stronger together, and hope that our collective contribution will provide much needed aid and inspire others to get involved.”
