Proceeds support the Rotary Club of Boulder Valley
In addition to sampling frosty brews, the Beer Fest offers a great opportunity to support the Rotary Club of Boulder Valley.
Last year, money raised at the Boulder Valley Beer Fest supported a variety of local efforts, including:
The Dictionary Project, which distributes dictionaries and gazetteers to third-grade students in the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD)
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, which pay for a week of camp for 10 students in BVSD schools
Scholarships for seniors graduating from BVSD high schools
Mental health initiatives
