Letter: Boys & Girls Club says thanks

To the community,

Tahoe’s first ever Brewfest last month was such a huge success that it ran out of beer and raised over $20,000 for the Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe.

The brain child of Cold Water’s Deb Brown, the Tahoe Brewfest was made a reality on June 10. With all proceeds benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe, the success of the event skyrocketed with supporters from all over the Tahoe Basin and beyond with over 80 percent of attendees from out of town.

The Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe would like to give a shoutout to the wonderful supporters of the event who kick started what is sure to become a major south shore event each summer.

FNCTN assisted with social media exposure, marketing, and live music, and the event could not have happened without all our local breweries coming together to give their time, beer and expertise to raise money for a great cause in the community.

The Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe, with FNCTN and Cold Water, are already planning for 2018 and are looking into larger venues, more attendees, and more beer for future Tahoe Brewfests.
