Darn tasty beer.

Like tasty, locally-brewed beer?

Like fighting disease?

This Saturday at the Ravenna Alehouse, you can do both, AT THE SAME TIME.

Julee Pratt and her team, The Gut Girls, will be participating in the Take Steps Challenge on July 18th to raise money for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA). If you want to help the cause, you can donate to the team, participate in the walk yourself, or head to the Ravenna Alehouse (2258 NE 65th St) this Saturday between 5pm and closing and drink Manny’s Pale Ale. Or do all three.

From Julee’s “Fundraiser for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America” facebook page (emphasis mine):

Please join me at the Ravenna Alehouse on Saturday, June 26th to help raise funds for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation! I will be participating in the Take Steps Challenge on July 18th at Magnuson Park and this fundraiser will help me and my team, The Gut Girls, to reach our goal! Many of you know that this foundation is more than just a charity to me. I encourage you to view my personal fundraising page for more information. It can be found here. There is also a direct link on my Facebook profile page.

The proprietor of the Ravenna Alehouse is a dear friend of mine and he has generously worked with Manny’s to arrange for this fundraiser. For every Manny’s purchased between 5PM and closing on Saturday, June 26th, a portion of the proceeds will be donated directly to support me and my team’s fundraising with the CCFA!

Learn more about Crohn’s Disease, and Ulcerative Colitis (what Julee herself has) and Proctitis at the CCFA’s website.

Thank you to Mai Ling over at Maple Leaf Life for the info.
