After a successful first brewery pop-up for our 2019 charity campaign at Factotum Brewhouse, we are looking to continue the momentum with your help on April 5th at Diebolt Brewing! Thanks to some generous givers, last Thursday we raised $203 for Casa de Paz and accepted 59 donation items! Not bad for our first pop-up event. In honor of April being Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), this time around we will be raising money for The Blue Bench – metro Denver’s only comprehensive sexual assault support & prevention center.
” At The Blue Bench, our mission is to eliminate sexual assault and diminish the impact it has on individuals, their loved ones and our community through comprehensive issue advocacy, prevention and care. “
One of the goals for our 2019 charity campaigns is to work with more nonprofit organizations and to support relevant causes. With April being SAAM and sexual assault finally getting the attention it deserves thanks to the #MeToo movement & all of the brave victims who have come forward, we believe this cause is of the utmost relevance & importance and we’re very excited & proud to be working with The Blue Bench.
While unfortunately not immune to sexual assault, we know that at its core, the EDM community is one of love, support, unity, and respect, and that with your help we can make a big difference this SAAM.
Where Your Money Will Go
“Every day we work tirelessly to eliminate sexual assault and diminish the impact it has on individuals, their loved ones and our community. Through our efforts in issue advocacy, prevention and care we strive to elevate topic awareness and lead the charge to end sexual assault. Your donation will ensure that our prevention and care services are available and accessible.” –thebluebench.org
