(Quad Cities, IA) - Brew Ha Ha, an award-winning beer festival, is a local favorite for young professionals. But it's not all about the beer. It's about giving back to the community too.
In addition to being one of the largest volunteer run festivals in the QC, it also gives funds significant projects like the Jaycees Santa project currently underway and WQPT's Imagination Station held in March.
Members of the Jaycees of the Quad Cities will present a gift of $10,000 to the WQPT Imagination Station planning committee on Wednesday, December 16 at 5:30 p.m. at Western Illinois University-Quad Cities where the free event for families is held annually.
"Supporting local kids and families has always been at the heart of the Jaycees. This event reaches a large number of kids and is a fun way to celebrate learning and interaction," said Jennifer Kincaid, President, Jaycees of the Quad Cities.
As young professionals, the Jaycees promotes leadership, volunteerism and charity. This is just one example of the work we do in the community.
"Brew Ha Ha is a great event and a lot of hard work but it's important to remember the reason for our efforts. Supporting community projects with both our time and our treasure makes us feel really proud. Investing this time of year is an added bonus," said Neil Berthiaume, 2015 Brew Ha Ha Chair.
Join us for a brief presentation and unveiling of the Jaycee's character sponsorship. Details are below:
