Local Non-Profit Launches Fundraising Campaign at Revolution Brewing

Himalaya Project, a local non-profit, is throwing their annual fundraiser at Revolution Brewing in support of their school for Tibetan medicine in Dolpo, Nepal. Through their planned 5-year school for Tibetan medicine, Himalaya Project will provide the necessary medical training thereby improving public health in an extremely impoverished region, in addition to preserving the rare lineage and practices of Tibetan medicine.

“Rather than send doctors from the west to the east, our mission is to empower local communities by providing vocational training in Tibetan medicine to community members,” states Executive Director of Himalaya Project, Mark Sobralske.

The live fundraiser at Revolution Brewing launches a further 30 days of fundraising on the crowd-funding platform, Indiegogo, for which Himalaya Project has set the goal of raising $30,000.

As the campaign goes live on the eve of the event at Revolution Brewing, the event will feature a first-time viewing of the Indiegogo film short about Himalaya Project’s mission, produced by NYC film director, David Schmüdde.

Following the viewing will be a live auction, featuring items from the Himalayas such as Buddhist statues and paintings from the Himalayas.

A $50 ticket to the event at Revolution Brewing includes an open bar of 5 beers on tap, 3 delicious appetizers, live music, and a silent and live auction.

The launch party will take place on Sunday, October 26, from 6:00pm to 9:00pm at Revolution Brewery on 2323 North Milwaukee Avenue.
