Rubicon Brewing Company to Host Fundraiser for Sierra Forever Families,
a Local 501(c), Non-profit Organization.

Sacramento, CA  – On Wednesday, June 23, 2010, the Rubicon Brewing Company will hold their second “501(c) Wednesday.” This weekly event was created to benefit local 501(c), non-profit organizations by donating a portion of the day’s profits. On this second “501(c) Wednesday”, Rubicon Brewing Company will be donating to Sierra Forever Families.

Sierra Forever Families (Sierra) is a 501(c), non-profit organization whose mission is to transform the lives of children in foster care by building and nurturing permanent families. Founded in 1983, Sierra Forever Families has helped over 2,300 children and youth find permanence through adoption, kinship, guardianship and reunification. Sierra strives to find families for children who are harder to place; siblings, older youth, children with emotional and physical challenges, and multi-ethnic with diverse backgrounds. With the addition of its mentoring program, Wonder, Sierra has increased its opportunities to aid youth in care by providing a caring consistent adult to guide them through fun experiences in nature, art, music, sports, and dining out.

In the Greater Sacramento Region, there are nearly 4,000 children and youth living in the foster care system. Nearly half of these children will not return to their birth family and are in need of a permanent family or life-time connection today. There is virtually no cost to adopt a child from the foster care system. If a child does not find a permanence before the age of 18, they have a greater chance to become a part of the dire statistics: Youth who age out of the foster care system at age 18 and do not have a permanent family or life-time connection, within 2-4 years, over 50% will be homeless addicted to drugs, in prison or dead. Of this group, over 60% of the females will have a child within 2-4 years. These outcomes are dire. Our children deserve a loving family to call their own.

Please plan to enjoy a meal and a brew at the Rubicon Brewing Company on June 23, 2010 to help support this worthwhile organization. Rubicon brewery tours will be held, and staff of Sierra Forever Families will be on hand to answer questions about youth permanency.

The Rubicon Brewing Company is a favorite Midtown Sacramento institution that is committed to its community. For over 23 years the Rubicon has provided handcrafted beers and great food, served in a casual, friendly atmosphere.

This year I tried the Celebration Ale and had to have another right away. I like the malt character with the fresh hop. It is on tap at the Rubicon right now.
