We are currently on a break until October 9th, but I felt compelled to reach out and share an important initiative we are undertaking.

We are excited to announce our upcoming fundraising event to support Canine Assistants, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing service dogs to disabled children. The financial burden associated with training and maintaining a service dog can be overwhelming, often amounting to approximately $65,000 over the dog's lifetime. It has become our goal to fund a service dog to a child on the waitlist by Christmas!

Additionally, we are thrilled to feature the talented Clejan, a viral violinist known for his unique musical style, as our entertainment for the event. We invite you to join us in making noise, supporting a cause, and we look forward to seeing you at Academia Brewing in Athens, Georgia soon.
