The Tacoma Craft Beer Festival (blog sponsor) takes place this Saturday, September 3rd. The event offers more than 80 beers poured by 40 breweries. This is the third year for this festival and it has now moved to a new location. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous, so why not spend the afternoon or evening sampling delicious beer and supporting a worthy cause. For details, visit the official event website or read our previous post.

The Cause You’re Supporting
All proceeds benefit the Boys and Girls Club of South Puget Sound. Wondering how the money is spent? According to the Boys and Girls Club, “We keep our fees affordable for all families, and there is a sliding scale. We offer scholarships to ensure no child is turned away due to inability to pay. In 2010 we provided over $915,000 in scholarships. $1.50 provides a snack to a child. $3 provides a hot meal to a child. Each day we serve an average of 1,300 children in all our Clubs. 1,300 youth are off the streets and engaged in positive activities at our Clubs during the after school hours which is the time where the most juvenile crimes are committed.”
