Now thats my kind of stroke fundraiser.
If they had a coffee beer like I made once it could be even better.

The Connecticut Brewers Guild is pleased to announce Weedstrong
Brewfest at Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury on Sunday August 18th
from 2 to 6 p.m. to help raise stroke awareness and support for Mike
Weed, a father of three young children who suffered a stroke on May 17th at the age of 37.
For
an advanced ticket price of just $40, the Weedstrong Brewfest event
will feature a beer tasting with more than 100 varieties of craft beer,
live local music, free parking and an all-day Quassy Ride and Splash
Away Bay Water Park pass from 11 to 8 p.m. Children’s all-day Ride and
Splash Away Bay passes are available at a reduced price of just $15 with
the advance purchase of an adult Brewfest ticket. The event will be
held rain or shine, and park pass vouchers will be provided if the park
closes due to inclement weather. $25 from each Brewfest ticket will
benefit Mike and his family, and tickets can be purchased online at http://www.quassy.com/plan-your-visit/events.
With
someone somewhere experiencing a stroke every 40 seconds, it is very
important to Mike and his wife Heidi to educate others about stroke
symptoms. Please visit http://www.weedstrong.org for more information
including a stroke awareness video created by family and friends,
a link to a facebook page to share Mike’s progress, an online donation
site and more. Please share this link with your friends!
About a
year before his stroke, Mike introduced the Weed Amber Ale recipe to
Connecticut. While Weed Beer is growing in popularity, it is not yet
helping to pay the bills and growing medical expenses as Mike fights
hard on his “Weedstrong” rehabilitation journey. That’s where friends
and supporters of fundraising events like the Weedstrong Brewfest are
coming together to help a family in need.
Supporters can also help out by purchasing Weed Beer as any profits will benefit
Mike and his family. Weed Beer can be purchased anywhere in CT, and if
your favorite package store or restaurant does not yet carry it, please
ask them to order it from their Budweiser distributor: HDI, Dichello or
Levine.
Sounds kind of awesome. If I drank beer or did the amusement park thing, I would go.
