Marianne is a longtime employee at Beer Star in White Center, Washington. Her face is familiar to anyone who frequents the place. Marianne is battling brain cancer. Her friends at Beer Star, and her many friends across the beer industry, have put together a fundraiser to help her through this incredibly difficult time. Friday, July 28th from 5:00 – 8:00 at Beer Star in White Center.
Everyone is invited to come join the fun, have a couple beers, and support the effort. The major fundraising component is an auction. We have it on good authority that some very cool stuff will be up for grabs. More than 60 breweries, concert venues, restaurants, and other businesses have donated items for the auction. Can’t make it to the event? You can donate via Marianne’s GoFundMe page.
Here’s what Beer Star said about the event on Instagram.
