Black Warrior River Campaign Kicks Off
September 3rd, 2009The SweetWater Brewing Company is launching its 2nd annual month-long “Save the Black Warrior” program to raise funds and awareness for Black Warrior Riverkeeper, a non-profit environmental advocacy organization.
Throughout September 2009, select restaurants and bars in the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa areas will sell paper fish, T-shirts, and pint glasses to benefit Riverkeeper. Mountain High Outfitters will donate prizes for the servers and bartenders who raise the most money for Riverkeeper’s anti-pollution efforts.
Participating venues are now listed at SavetheBlackWarrior.com. This new website also contains information about the collaboration, including opportunities to learn about water conservation, report pollution, donate, purchase merchandise, and enter a contest to win a Vespa LX150 donated by Bogart’s Motorsports.
Save the Black Warrior’s 2009 program includes 3 events co-sponsored by SweetWater. Rollin in the Hay plays Thursday, August 27 at 10 p.m. at Tuscaloosa’s Jupiter Bar and Grill, and on Thursday, September 3 Earthbound plays at 8 p.m. at Birmingham’s Rogue Tavern. A $10 door charge at both concerts benefits the Riverkeeper.
(We plan to be at the Rogue Tavern event and will provide some coverage, at least a photo or two worthy of Facebook).
