Annual 'Breastfest' Pairs Local Craft Breweries with Cancer Fighting

The following was submitted for publication on behalf of the Charlotte Maxwell Clinic:

Northern California’s best craft breweries are teaming up once again with Oakland’s Award-Winning Charlotte Maxwell Clinic for the 15th Annual Breastfest Beer Festival.

Featuring 39 of the best craft breweries in California, 2015 marks the 15th anniversary of the hugely popular annual beer festival. To celebrate this special anniversary, the Breastfest will be held at a new location, the scenic Marin County Civic Center Fairground Island on Saturday, July 18th, 12pm-4pm, and promises to be the best yet.

$55 advance ticket are available now on www.thebreastfest.org. Entry includes grub (BBQ, burgers and more), tasting glass, bottomless craft beer and non-alcoholic beverages.

As always, 100% of the proceeds of this hugely popular event will benefit Oakland’s Charlotte Maxwell Clinic, an award-winning non-profit women’s health provider. A pillar of medical care for the Bay Area’s underserved women with cancer, Charlotte Maxwell supports hundreds of women through their conventional cancer treatments by providing integrative medical therapies and social services.

A free-of-charge clinic that specializes in integrative cancer care for those who need it most, the clinic’s innovative comprehensive care model supports women medically, emotionally and financially during treatment, to ensure that no woman is alone in her fight against cancer.

“There’s no better cause to raise a glass to,” says Brendan Moylan, owner of Moylan’s Brewery and the event’s major sponsor. And with over 150 beers on tap, attendees can enjoy a relaxing, lazy afternoon knowing that every ticket purchased and every delicious brew sampled will go towards changing the life of an underserved woman with cancer.

Live music by The Olés, a Bay favorite, will complement the perfect weather forecast for a weekend that will inspire and delight for all the right reasons.

This July, giving never tasted so good.
