Clearbrook raises over $50,000 at Lincolnshire brewery event
For more than 65 years, Clearbrook has been providing personalized services and programs for adults and children with intellectual/developmental disabilities. Events are one way the nonprofit raises much needed funds. New this year, Clearbrook offered a new take on one of their signature events: Friends Wine and Beer Tasting. Not only did they move it from February to June, Clearbrook made it a more casual event at Half Day Brewing Company in Lincolnshire. The refresh paid off. Over 200 people enjoyed wine and beer tastings, heavy appetizers, a raffle, and an open bar. The night raised more than $50,000.
"It was just so fun. We had the whole brewery to ourselves and it was a great atmosphere. People were dancing, laughing, and socializing. The food was great, the drinks were good, and there were so many new faces in the crowd," said Clearbrook President, Anthony Di Vittorio.
Clearbrook would like to thank the sponsors: BMO Harris Bank, Workday, Allen and Janet Lattof, Cardinal Color Group, Canon, Comcast, Jewel Osco, UVANTA, Baker Tilly US, LLP, BorgWarner, Sedgebrook, Dugan and Lopatka, Remax, Ceres Food Group, Rubin Law, Sysmex, D'vine Wine and Gifts, and Half Day Brewing Company.
