The 16th Annual Festival of Beers is on Friday, September 10th, 2010 (downtown SD) presented by SDPAC (San Diego Professionals Against Cancer.) We need 150 more volunteers (21+ yr old) to pour beer (8:30-11:30 pm.)
Plenty of people would love to pour beer. We just don’t know about it, so….. Please email this on to your friends/family/companies/social groups to get the word out.
This is a great opportunity to give back to your local community while having a blast and meeting new friends! Cancer has touched many of our lives and people close to us. All proceeds benefit cancer research, education, and treatment services. This event is an extremely fun and it’s put on by all volunteers (no paid staff, which means none of the proceeds pay salaries.) Last year, 5,000 participates attended and 500 volunteers made it all happen. We need you!
Please feel free to call/text (619) 851-7971 or email Carri Larsen at carri.sdpac@cox.net
with any questions.
