Our Fundraising Goals for 2026

In 2025, we proudly raised over $1,500 from our release party alone to support ALS research. With the addition of our per-pint donations, we contributed more than $5,000 in total. This achievement was largely thanks to our community's support for this cause.

There are two ways that our community partners can help us raise money this year for ALS research. For both, 100% of proceeds will be donated to ALS Therapy Development Institute.

Raffle Donations: We’re seeking donations of merchandise, gift baskets or gift certificates to include in our raffle fundraiser during the event. We’re happy to coordinate to have someone pick up the donations from you.
Dunk Tank + Carnival Games at Release Party: If you would like to volunteer to take the plunge and sign up to be in our dunk tank, your friends and family can pay for a chance to dunk you during the event!

For your generous support, we’ll feature your business logo on our event poster, webpage, and on social media, as well as provide a poster for you to display at your business.

To ensure your logo is included in the poster, please inform us of your donation by June 25th. We gladly welcome contributions after this date, continuing until July 24th.
