    Four weeks from today, I will be participating in the University of Washington Relay for Life to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

    This will be my third year at the event. My father, brother in law, and aunt have all fought and survived cancer. I am very fortunate to have not lost any of them, but the feeling of powerlessness to help a loved one is something I don't want anyone to go through, so I do what I can to fight it.

    For the LIF, go here to donate

    https://secure.acsevents.org/site/D...1&FR_ID=48463&PROXY_ID=21147218&PROXY_TYPE=20

    In order to get added to the drawing for the LIF, please put your username in either "Private note for the person or team you are supporting" or "How would you like your name to appear on the public donor wall?" For every $10 donated, I will put your name into the drawing once. I don't know that I can promise a live drawing or video, but I will do the drawing in front of witnesses including a fellow BA.

    The first prize I am offering is two bottles of Imperial Stout

    2012 Fremont Kentucky Dark Star
    2012 Deschutes The Abyss

    If $250 is raised, I will throw in a second box with a couple BA Barleywine

    2012 Pelican Mother of all Storms
    2013 Midnight Sun Arctic Devil

    and if $500 is raised, I will throw in a third box with a couple anniversary beers

    2013 Cascade Bottleworks XIV
    2013 Fremont The First Nail from The Pinebox First Anniversary

    I'll leave it open until the Relay on April 27th. I will only ship to the US, and you are only eligible to win one box (want to make sure to spread the love). Cheers!

    Thanks. I feel a bit awkward bumping my own thread, but will likely do it more as it gets closer to the event.
