Distric NW Members,
There's a fundraiser happening on Sunday, November 23rd that I was asked to share with this group.
Markus Stinson, long-time lead brewer and member of the ingredient procurement team at Elysian, has been battling stomach cancer for a few years now. After a period of remission, he recently learned that he is testing positive again.
The intensive treatment means Markus has not been able to work and that will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future. Hence, the impetus to raise funds.
The
Blu Grouse, a cozy little pub at
9839 17th Ave SW in White Center (
just north of Burien and south of West Seattle) will be hosting an event
on Sunday, November 23rd starting at 2:00 PM where proceeds will go towards helping Markus
pay for out-of-pocket expenses, which will commence after the first of the year, when his annual deductibles reset.
Please come out if you can to support a fellow brewer as he gears up for another round of battle v. cancer.
Thanks in advance for your participation!
