Pour Taproom Hosts “Drag and Drinks for Disaster Relief” Fundraiser in Knoxville
Knoxville, Tenn. – If you’re searching for a good time and a great cause, look no further than Pour Taproom this Wednesday evening. The bar will be hosting a special fundraiser titled “Drag and Drinks for Disaster Relief” starting at 7:30 p.m.. This event aims to raise funds to support communities recovering from the recent devastating impact of Hurricane Helene and the subsequent flooding that hit upper East Tennessee.
A Timely Cause
In light of the destructive floods, Pour Taproom is stepping up to make a difference. The bar has announced that all money donations collected during the event will be matched by them, with proceeds going toward the East Tennessee Foundation’s Neighbor to Neighbor Disaster Relief Fund. This essential fund plays a pivotal role in supporting local nonprofits and agencies that are doing the hard work on the ground to assist communities affected by the storm. The fund specifically aims to provide resources for outfitting immediate needs as well as helping with the long-term recovery efforts for the area.
How to Contribute
For those who may not wish to drink but still want to help, Pour Taproom is encouraging attendees to drop off much-needed supplies for the region. Items like water, basic medical supplies, and canned goods will be most appreciated. It’s a wonderful way to contribute and help our neighbors who need it the most after such an unfortunate event.
An Evening Filled with Fun
The event promises to be a night full of excitement and entertainment. Kicking off at 7:30 p.m., guests can look forward to live music featuring talented artists Hayden Bright and J-Ready. Interestingly, J-Ready’s hometown has been deeply impacted by the floods, which only adds a personal touch to the evening as attendees rally to support their local hero.
Drag Performances for a Great Cause
In addition to the amazing live music, attendees are also in for a treat with performances from an array of local drag artists, including Colin Butte, Fatty Acid, and Alexandra Cartier. These performers will undoubtedly bring a vibrant energy and flair to the event, making it a memorable night for everyone attending.
A Community Coming Together
Pour Taproom has expressed their excitement to welcome everyone. Through their social media platforms, they have called on the community to “join us as we rally behind our own J-Ready to support his family and hometown, recently devastated by floods.” It’s a heartfelt invitation, encouraging everyone to come together to support not just one individual, but an entire community. The idea that every sip you take can contribute toward healing adds an extra layer of significance to the evening.
