FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 16, 2014

The North Park Festival of Arts Craft Beer Block is turning their event into an opportunity to raise money for Firestorm 2014. Brewers from around the State come to North Park each year to take place in the North Park Festival of Arts Craft Beer Block. This year a group of generous brewers have committed to donating $500 each to help support the Fire Fighters Local 145. The idea was inspired by Daniel Love, the owner of Mother Earth Brew Co, a homeowner whose home narrowly escaped the flames earlier this week. Daniel Love has challenged his fellow brewers to a $500 donation to help the Fire Fighters Community Responsibility Fund, a non-profit dedicated to insuring that the heroes who fight the fires have effective and up to date equipment to keep them safe while battling the flames. In addition, the North Park Festival of Arts taking place on Saturday May 17th from 110am-6pm will have volunteers passing the boot for donations from the crowd of over 35,000 who attend this event and FM94.9 broadcasting live to help drive the donation efforts. To learn more about the event visit the web site at www.northparkfestivalofarts.com. To learn more about the work that Local 145 performs around our county, please see www.sdfire.org.
