LAKEFRONT SUPPORTS SUICIDE PREVENTION WITH A BEER AND AN EVENT

LAKEFRONT SUPPORTS SUICIDE PREVENTION WITH A BEER AND AN EVENT

Lakefront Brewery has brewed its “Save A Weiss” beer once again to help raise awareness of National Suicide Prevention Week, which begins Sunday, Sept. 8th.

Lakefront Brewery is teaming up, once again, with a nationwide coalition of brewers for a suicide prevention awareness initiative inspired by O.H.S.O Brewing in Phoenix, Arizona. O.H.S.O owner, Jon Lane, had lost family and friends to suicide, and even had ideations himself. He credits the stranger he spoke to after dialing 988 for saving his life. In July of 2020, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) formally designated 988 as a nationwide 3-digit lifeline for mental health crisis and suicide prevention services. Lakefront hopes their “Save A Weiss” beer will raise awareness of the help out there, and with 988, there’s always a listening ear available.

“Our efforts last year meant so much to us, we wanted to repeat helping this very important cause,” said Lakefront Brewery President, Russ Klisch. “Please, come on down, have a beer, and maybe learn a little about suicide prevention.”

With the start of National Suicide Prevention Week on Sunday, September 8th, Lakefront will be donating $1 of every pint sold of the German-style Wheat Ale, Save A Weiss, to the AFSP Wisconsin chapter. The AFSP organization is focused on eliminating the loss of life from suicide by delivering innovative prevention programs, educating the public, raising funds for suicide research, and reaching out to those who have lost someone to suicide. Grab a pint all week long through Sunday, September 14th.

Help us and all the other collaborating breweries spread the word about the 988 suicide prevention line. It could literally save a life. Learn more about the 988 lifeline by clicking here.

*The Save A Weiss Wheat Ale will be on tap starting Thursday, September 5th, and the $1 donations will also begin that day.

At 6pm tonight, Lakefront is partnering with the Wisconsin AFSP to host a “Talk Saves Lives” Happy Hour at their Beer Hall. “Talk Saves Lives: An Introduction to Suicide Prevention” is a community-based presentation that covers the general scope of suicide, the research on prevention, and what people can do to fight suicide. Free registration is preferred, but not required: https://tsllfbwi.attendease.com/  Anyone 21+ may join.

LAKEFRONT BREWERY WELCOMES PUPPIES TO THEIR PATIO FOR A JR’S PUPS-N-STUFF SUPPLY DRIVE https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/09/03/lakefront-brewery-welcomes-puppies-to-their-patio-for-a-jrs-pups-n-stuff-supply-drive/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lakefront-brewery-welcomes-puppies-to-their-patio-for-a-jrs-pups-n-stuff-supply-drive Tue, 03 Sep 2024 14:28:27 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15485

LAKEFRONT BREWERY WELCOMES PUPPIES TO THEIR PATIO FOR A JR’S PUPS-N-STUFF SUPPLY DRIVE

LAKEFRONT BREWERY WELCOMES PUPPIES TO THEIR PATIO FOR A JR’S PUPS-N-STUFF SUPPLY DRIVE

Lakefront is partnering with local volunteer/foster-based Wauwatosa dog rescue to gather much needed supplies for their mission. 

“When we launched our Ripple Effect donation program last year, we asked our staff what organizations they would like to partner with in the community, which put JR’s Pups-N-Stuff on the top of our list from the beginning” says Lakefront’s Donation Coordinator Liz Mauritz. Lakefront is thrilled to be hosting a puppy supply drive on Lakefront’s patio this Sunday, September 8th from 11am to 4pm.

“There will definitely be adoptable dogs and maybe even some kittens,” added Mauritz. 

JR’s Pups-N-Stuff is a nonprofit volunteer/foster-based dog rescue located in Salem Lakes and Wauwatosa. Their rescue was built by a network of foster parents who do not discriminate because of breed, age, or health status. Over the 15 years that they’ve operated, north of 10,000 dogs have found forever homes. This Sunday, they will be collecting much-needed supplies to continue their mission of saving animal lives. 

To see a list of items that will make a significant impact for JR’s, visit Lakefront’s website HERE. Bring those items down to Lakefront on Sunday and donate directly to representatives from the organization. Those who donate new or gently used supplies will receive a free beer on Lakefront and a $5 donation or more will get you a spin of JR’s prize wheel. 

Lakefront Brewery Tour Guide, Chad Lehman, knows JR’s Pups-N-Stuff well. 

“We have been fostering at JR’s for about 6 years,” says Lehman. “We got into it after we adopted one of our dogs from them 7 years ago. It’s incredibly rewarding to find the perfect fit for both the foster dog and the people looking to adopt. Many of these dogs have not had the best start in life and if we can turn that around, that’s the ultimate goal.”

LAKEFRONT BREWERY PARTNERS WITH RIVERWEST ELEMENTARY TO RAISE IMPORTANT FUNDS FOR THEIR STUDENTS https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/08/15/lakefront-brewery-partners-with-riverwest-elementary-to-raise-important-funds-for-their-students/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lakefront-brewery-partners-with-riverwest-elementary-to-raise-important-funds-for-their-students Thu, 15 Aug 2024 13:52:10 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15407

Lakefront looks to a variety of ways to fundraise for the school’s eco-friendly playground renovation designed by community partner, Reflo

LAKEFRONT BREWERY PARTNERS WITH RIVERWEST ELEMENTARY TO RAISE IMPORTANT FUNDS FOR THEIR STUDENTS

The local brewery’s Ripple Effect donation program continues to look for ways to better the community around them. Starting August 13th, they will begin their initiative to help raise funds to redevelop a greener, healthier, and safer schoolyard for the students of Riverwest Elementary. “We want to help the youth in our community feel valued and worthy of a proper place outside of their school to partake in activities that nurture their full potential”, says Liz Mauritz, Lakefront’s donation program coordinator.

 

Riverwest Elementary has partnered with local nonprofit, Reflo, who has designed a renovation to the school’s outdoor space that will remove 27,200 square feet of asphalt and replace it with new green space and mixed-use recreation and educational areas. The plan would manage approximately 137,615 gallons of stormwater per rain event and provides much safer play for the kids. Learn more about the project by going here: https://refloh2o.com/riverwest-elementary

 

Much like their famous, “Putin is a Dick” crowler initiative for relief in Ukraine, they are now selling specially designed “Fund the Fun” crowlers. Lakefront will match an added $5 cost to make a $10 total donation for each “Fund the Fun” crowler sold. Crowlers are 32-ounce cans that can be filled and sealed with any Lakefront beer on tap. “Fund the Fun” crowlers are available in person or by ordering ahead for pick up through their website. Additionally, for the entire month of September, Lakefront patrons may opt to round up their bill to donate to the cause.

 

The marquee fundraising event will be an Adult Spelling Bee at Lakefront Brewery Beer Hall on Thursday, September 19th. Lakefront will welcome teams to purchase a table and participate in a bar trivia-style spelling bee where they will work together to properly spell each challenging word. Tables will cost $120 (plus fees) and teams will be allowed up to 6 total people to compete. All table costs will be donated to the project as well as $1 of every beer purchased that day. The top 3 teams will take home Lakefront gift cards as prizes. Funds from a silent auction featuring an array of items will also be donated to the project that night, including a signed Damian Lillard jersey and basketball!

The event will get underway at 5:30PM with the Spelling Bee beginning at 6:30PM. Lakefront welcomes all to stop by and get involved, guests are not required to have a spelling bee table to enter. Table reservations are available through this link: https://www.exploretock.com/lakefront-brewery/event/497996/adult-spelling-bee-fund-the-fun

 

Riverwest Elementary has indicated that the redevelopment will cost over $200,000, so they hope the community can rally around the project and participate at any level within their means.

 

Can’t make it down to Lakefront but still want to show your support? Visit this link to donate directly to the initiative: https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?id=1&name=E252729
