Crafting a Sudsy Success: Rotary Club of Avalon Park Pours on the Fun and Philanthropy

The Rotary Club of Avalon Park recently organized another successful Craft Beer Festival, which attracted approximately 750 or more attendees. The event proved to be a great success, raising over $20,000 in total. The funds raised were allocated to several charitable organizations, including Best Buddies Florida, American Heart Association, Central Florida Miracle League, Pet Rescue by Judy, United Against Poverty Orlando, Florida Springs Council, A Spoon Full of Hope, The Faine House, Shriner’s Children’s Hospital, the Rotary Foundation, and the Rotary Club of Avalon Park.

Out of the total funds raised, $10,000 was donated to various charitable causes, while the remaining $10,000 will be used to support the service projects of the club. This ensures that the funds collected have a local impact and contribute to ongoing community initiatives.

The Craft Beer Festival featured 17 brewers and offered attendees the opportunity to sample over 50 different selections of beer. In addition to the beer tasting, the festival included a wine garden, live music from two bands, food trucks, as well as entertainment activities such as axe throwing and tailgate games. The event provided a festive and fun atmosphere as attendees enjoyed a great outdoor community event in Town Park.

Looking ahead, the Rotary Club of Avalon Park has already announced that next year’s Craft Beer Festival will take place in Spring 2024, specifically in March or April. This event promises to build upon the success of the previous festival, offering an even better experience for beer enthusiasts and supporting the club’s ongoing philanthropic efforts.
