Trekking For Charity to Raise Money for Getting Heroes Home

I talked with Brandon Mavis from Craft QC about an upcoming fundraiser called Trekking for Charity where he'll be raising money for a local non-profit called Getting Heroes Home.

Saturday, September 18, 2021 he'll be walking to every single brewery in the Quad Cities...a total of close to 26 miles. But he's got to raise enough money. $2,000 will make a complete trip.

Then that evening at 7pm they'll have an after party at Midwest Ale Works where more raffles and fundraising will happen. Plus they'll be tapping a new beer that Brandon helped brew called MAWtoberfest, an Octoberfest style beer.

Just like our Troops need the help of Getting Heroes Home. I can't Trek without your help. The MORE money raised, the FURTHER I walk. Where I end is up to you, so donate today! If we meet our goal we could end up walking 26 Miles to 14 Breweries, 5 Cities and 2 States.
