Base Camp Beer Works, alongside the Malibu Brewing Company, is hosting a fundraiser to support first responders in Southern California, specifically those involved in search and rescue operations in Malibu.
The initiative comes in response to the devastating Malibu fires, with the owners of both breweries finding a way to lend a hand to the community. Base Camp Beer Works, located in Grand Junction, Colorado, has partnered with the Malibu Brewing Company to help raise much-needed funds for the Malibu Search and Rescue team.
A Brewing Partnership with Purpose
Both breweries have strong ties to Colorado, making this collaboration a heartfelt effort. When the fires ravaged Malibu, the owners of Base Camp Beer Works felt the need to do something for the community. Jess Harrison, Taproom Manager at Base Camp Beer Works, explained the close-knit nature of the craft brewing industry, where businesses constantly support each other.
“The craft brewing industry is a very niche industry and everybody’s kind of helping each other out all the time,” Harrison shared.
With the goal of supporting the local first responders and the Malibu Search and Rescue team, the fundraiser was set in motion, bringing the two breweries together to make a difference.
How the Fundraiser Works: A Fun Way to Give Back
Base Camp Beer Works has devised a fun and interactive way for patrons to participate in the fundraiser. The brewery is offering a raffle where customers can win exciting prizes donated by the Malibu Brewing Company. The process is simple:
- QR codes are posted throughout the brewery.
- Visitors can scan the codes, then show proof of their scan to receive a raffle ticket.
- The raffle tickets are filled out with names and phone numbers, and the draw will take place on Sunday at 4:00 PM.
The winner of the raffle will receive an assortment of merchandise from Malibu Brewing Company, including T-shirts, hats, a Frisbee, and even a cool enamel pin pack.
Prizes to Look Forward To:
- T-shirts
- Hats
- Frisbees for disc golf
- Enamel pin pack
This fun way of giving back to the community has been enthusiastically received by patrons, who are encouraged to join the cause before Sunday’s raffle.
Additional Efforts by Malibu Brewing Company
The Malibu Brewing Company isn’t just contributing to the raffle. They are also making a significant donation to the relief efforts in the area by offering their space and staff to World Central Kitchen. This organization is providing meals for the victims of the Malibu fires, showing a broader commitment to helping those affected by the devastation.
The fundraiser began earlier this week and will run through Sunday. For those interested in participating, there’s still plenty of time to join in and support the cause. The collaboration between Base Camp Beer Works and the Malibu Brewing Company proves the power of community spirit and teamwork, especially in times of need.
