Show off your spelling prowess and raise funds for KDB!
|
|
|
We're excited to be partnering with Fullsteam Brewery for a special KDB fundraiser! To celebrate this year’s Earth Day theme of "Protect our Species", we’re throwing an all-out bee-fest with honey beer, bee-related vendors & non-profits...and a spelling bee with a twist.
We’ll have ten competitors onstage spelling for the bees at 3pm. If a contestant spells a word incorrectly, audience members can buy them extra lives starting at $25 and increasing in increments of $25 for each subsequent life. And they’ll need quite a few… this isn't your middle school spelling bee.
Contest proceeds will go to support our Pollinator Project, so we’re looking for contestants who aren't just brainy, but also interested in raising money to support this cause! To sweeten the deal, the winner gets a 'Honey Pot' with a variety of bee and non-bee related prizes. Find more info and register here!
Can't make it but still want to help? Click here to make a donation! Please include You Can't Spell BEERS without BEES and the name of the contestant you’re sponsoring (if applicable) under 'Your Note for the Donor Scroll.'
