Lift a pint for the parks!
From now through September you can raise money for the National Parks Conservation Association simply by raising a pint of beer.
The catch is that it has to be a brew from the Breckenridge Brewery in Colorado. The brewery's Pints for Parks program is designed to benefit national parks across the United States. Under the program, a portion of the proceeds from every single pint of Breckenridge Brewery beer poured across the country will be donated to NPCA.
Last year, Breckenridge Brewery raised $40,000 for the organization.
“We are inspired by the work that the National Parks Conservation Association does every day to maintain, enhance and protect our national parks so that today’s generation and beyond can enjoy their beauty,” said Todd Usry, president of Breckenridge Brewery. “We’re proud to continue this partnership and raise a glass in support of the parks.”
The funds raised from the program will support NPCA’s efforts, from communities to Capitol Hill, to help fight threats to national park lands, air, water and wildlife, and ensure these iconic places are protected and preserved.
“We are proud to partner with Breckenridge Brewery, who shares our desire to leave the world a better place through conservation and sustainable practices,” said Theresa Pierno, NPCA's president and CEO. “Through this partnership, Breckenridge Brewery is introducing our mission to a whole new audience, while also financially supporting our work. It’s through initiatives like this that NPCA can continue to do the important work of protecting America’s national parks now, and for generations to come.”
To celebrate the program, Breckenridge Brewery has once again partnered with Colorado-based artist, Andrew Hoffman, to create a series of custom pint glasses, each designed to commemorate a different national park, from Rocky Mountain National Park in Breckenridge Brewery’s own backyard to seven other parks across the U.S., including Joshua Tree, Padre Island, Dry Tortugas, Delaware Water Gap, Cuyahoga Valley, Ozark and Grand Canyon.
Glassware can be found in participating bars and restaurants throughout the summer. There will be glassware giveaway opportunities on-premise, and glasses can be purchased on www.breckbrew.com.
