Pay It Forward Fundraiser

To help women fighting cancer AND in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Urban Growler is proud to announce our Pink Lemonade Hard Seltzer. Proceeds from each can sold will be donated to the Pay It Forward Fund, a non-profit dedicated to helping women’s and breast cancer patients pay basic living expenses while going through treatment so they can focus on what’s really important—getting healthy.

Join us for a fundraiser at Urban Growler on Saturday, October 26th to raise money for Pay It Forward Fund!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month hits close to home at Urban Growler. Our resilient and tenacious Sales Rep Julie Hays was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer in March of 2017. Triple Negative Breast Cancer is a more rare and aggressive form of cancer with less treatment options. She went through chemo, surgery, and radiation, and chose to take a chemo trial pill from October-May that had been shown to help with reducing triple negative recurrence rates. Julie is now 7 years cancer free! She attributes so much of her grit survival to the support from her family and friends, who were there for her emotionally, physically, and financially every step of the way. They created a GoFundMe page for her and threw a large fundraiser at Urban Growler. Through the generosity of her support system, she was able to go through treatment without accumulating debt or worrying about how to pay her bills.

Unfortunately, the reality is that for some women, that’s not the case… Along with the grueling process of treatment, they also have to worry about basic bills and financial needs like car and mortgage payments, grocery shopping, utilities, maybe tuition, and more. Pay It Forward is completely volunteer-run, which means 100% of donations go directly to assisting patient bills. Proceeds from Pink Lemonade Hard Seltzer will be donated to Pay It Forward Fund.
