Kegs For Cavy Follow Up
Cavy addressing the adoring masses
By all accounts, Sunday’s Kegs for Cavy fundraiser at Brouwer’s was a resounding success and one hell of a party. Over $13,000 was raised through beer sales, silent auction items, donations and shaved heads. Yes, shaved heads. Skagit River Brewing’s Mike Armstrong brought the clippers and Brouwer’s Operations Manager Matt Bonney kicked in $20 for anyone who got their locks chopped off.
I was only there until around 10:30 (my lady overindulged for Cavy, tried to re-enact the puking scene from Team America and had to be shepherded home), so while I drank plenty, I missed out on Chris’s speech and his shearing. Luckily, photographic evidence was easy to find.

Cavy was blown away by the party and wanted to “extend my endless love and gratitude to everyone involved in any way, especially those in the beer community who donated kegs and time and made it happen. And an extra special thanks to my family at Brouwer’s, the most incredible bar in the world.”
If you didn’t make it out on Sunday, it’s not too late to contribute to Cavy’s recovery. Some of the kegs from Sunday are still pouring at Brouwer’s and there’s still a savings account in Cavy’s name at Frontier Bank. Just tell them you have a donation for Chris Cavanaugh and they’ll make sure the money gets to Cavy.

I resemble that remark.
But really, it was a beautiful event–the parts that I remember.

Excellent synopsis. I could only stay a couple of hours, but it was an amazing time. I have to give it up for the Seattle beer community; some of us may be drunks, but we are not apathetic when it matters.
Get well, Cavy!
