The Hummingbird Fund will partner with Starr Hill Brewery this August to raise money for ALS research. Starr Hill is brewing a “Hummingbird Ale” and hosting a release party on Saturday, August 5, at both the Crozet and Charlottesville tap rooms to celebrate this new brew. The events, which are free and open to the public, will raise money for ALS research. Register for the event here. Registration is appreciated, but not required.
This special, limited-edition Hummingbird Ale is made possible thanks to a collaboration with Ales for ALES, a fundraising program where breweries create delicious beer and use proceeds to support ALS research.
Proceeds from sales of Starr Hill’s Hummingbird Ale will go to ALS research through ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI), which developed the Ales for ALS program. ALS TDI, a nonprofit biotech company, is the world’s foremost drug discovery lab focused solely on ALS. We are seeking sponsors for this fundraising event to help us reach our goal!
