BBQ BREWS AND A BIKE RIDE EVENT . . .

JDRF is an organization close to our hearts at Grand River Grocery.  Most of us know someone that is living with Juvenile Diabetes. At Grand River Grocery we have two moms affected by this disease.  Our "Chief Wine Chick" Sarah Andro knows diabetes all too well, she lived with it growing up with two parents that were diabetic, losing her beloved father a year ago to the disease.  Her sweet young daughter Sophie adjusts to life by constantly monitoring her blood sugar levels as she too is diabetic.

But we are not without hope, most researchers agree that a cure for Juvenile Diabetes is just around the corner.  And that's why anything we can do to help raise funds for their foundation is important.  This October for the 4th time, Wine Chick Sarah will ride 100 grueling miles through Death Valley Desert to raise money for this important cause in her life.  We're throwing a fundraiser to kick off our summer grill season on Friday, May 21 with Cascade Rental and Magic Hat Brewery on board as our primary sponsors of our beer tent and barbeque extravaganza.  The music of Tiki O'Riley will set the mood in the evening as we raise money for JDRF.

Bring the family and enjoy good beer and good food supporting a really good cause.
