Cheers to Community: 4th Annual Crosstown Brewdown Raises Funds for Local Kids

What a night! On July 31, more than 175 people joined us on the rooftop of Stonehome Brewing for our 4th Annual Crosstown Brewdown—and it was one to remember. Guests soaked in a perfect summer evening filled with craft beer, delicious food, and live music, all in support of a powerful cause: our United Way Backpack Program.

Did you know that one in five children living in the Bismarck-Mandan area relies on nutrition assistance? Beyond health issues, hunger can have devastating outcomes – employees become ineffective, and students lose focus in the classroom. Hunger prevents our neighbors from reaching their full potential.
