Title: Buy a pint for Kate open day
Post by: brenmurph on December 02, 2014, 07:12:08 AM
Here at South Kildare Brewers we are holding one of the biggest events ever. With special thanks to a number of commercial donations and commercial support we have a great number of hampers on offer for our raffle prizes.

BUY A PINT FOR KATE is a charity gig held at south Kildare Brewers base kildare town to raise funds for my grand-daughter who has a serious disability and cannot walk and will not walk without specialist treatment currently not offered by our wonderful Irish health service.
Every cent raised goes straight in to the fund....NO Middle men....no expenses budget....no commission for collectors.

WE want 10-grand to enable Kate to walk. Our open day is all-day saturday coming and overnight for those who love our beer enough to keep going!!

OK so we dont accept charity we want you to "buy a pint for Kate. WE have the best beer on the planet available on keg...all we need is your support....come to kildare on saturday and taste our Top class UK & Irish award winning Beer at this special day.

All beer 3 euros a pint donation....this beer cannot be bought in the shops and we have a mega selection on offer Menu later........

For those never here before its an outstanding opportunity to see how we do it and visit our fantastic brewery setup and taste the 14 beers on keg and as many in bottle.

More details later so Come to Kildare saturday and BUY A PINT FOR KATE as well as having a day at our brewery...hey we may even do a brew!!

Bren,

Can we PayPal-a-Pint-for-Kate?

If you don't have Paypal lets use the club account - what say you Brian?

Then Brian can just hand over 1 payment!

thanks for all the positives folks.

we dont mind how people help if they want.. we have a lot of hampers as prizes for the raffle.

Ideally dont want banks profiting from our efforts if possible.

@ willD & partrige9

will be out your way this evening and will have a couple dozen bottles of our finest beers . Ye can spread then around at 3 euros to Northsiders if ye want to try that. We are meeting the Dublin Beer ladies as well they are having a 57 headline bash with raffle, and some other ideas.
Compared to craft offerings in the offy we guarantee our special steps for kate beers are up with the very best on the market so at 3 quid donation its a great exchange for a great cause that really should be included in our national health but is not unfortunatly so we carry on regardless.

Wuld be great to see a bunch of ye down at the event. Kate will be here and the beeers will be served fresh from keg, handpump cask and oak cask..an event to beat all beer events....

Hopefully this answers previous questions.

We hope someons who has a dpd account ( maybe HBC if ye are looking in) will deliver the hampers where necessary ( many can be hand delivered / collectedhopefully) in exchange for  a plug in the right places!!

paypal, bank or cash we dont mind..... all appreciated and if ye can make it ye will be amazed....as usual at our events we have great food snacks to go with the wonderful beers.
overnight available as well if anyone wants to make an evening of it

Kate is 18 months old, at the moment she can not sit up unaided, crawl, roll over, walk. She has a beautiful smile that would melt hearts!
Title: Re: Buy a pint for Kate open day
Post by: Garry on December 02, 2014, 12:08:23 PM
She looks like a very happy child in the photos. Ye must be very proud of her. Good look with the fundraising.

I've added a "donate" button to your original post for those that can't work facebook (like me!).

Kate is starting therapy in Limerick next week, she is very weak at the moment so she will have 5 days intense therapy for an hour a day, to build her up for a 3 week intense session in February please god. She will need a lot of therapy which means big money.But to give her any chance in life this is what we have to do, if left to our health system Kate will never have the chance of walking or even have any movement from the waist down! A big thankyou from the bottom of my heart for any support you may offer Kate :)

Will you be doing this again been?,  obviously it's a great cause and something I would love to support.  Either way could you pop up a PayPal address for off site donations
Title: Re: Buy a pint for Kate open day
Post by: Boycott on December 07, 2014, 11:19:31 AM
Spent a nice few hours out with Bren and Kellie yesterday. I really enjoyed all of the beers, top quality and learned a lot maybe too much to remember. I think it would be very hard to get so many great beers one after each other again. Shared the Bock and bitter on the train back,  really good stuff. I hope the rest of the day was a success.
