FUNDRAISERS

After an employee of The Windsor Gardener and High Hops Brewery, a single mother of two, was diagnosed with a type of Lymphoma, the businesses’ owners and employees brewed a beer for her: “Bad Mamma Java.” Proceeds brought in from this beer will be donated directly to her. The beer, only available at The Hop Hut inside The Windsor Gardener, will be served until all 310 gallons of it have been sold.

The Windsor Community Foundation’s second annual Brews and Bites for Windsor, held Jan. 19, attracted almost 100 people who were treated to a five-course meal from Hearth Restaurant & Pub paired with special brews from High Hops Brewery and a silent auction. Major sponsors also included Points West Community Bank, Life in Ptarmigan Hills & Meadows/The Valley Life Magazine, Tom and Barb Macgillivray, Thrivent Financial (Dan and Deb Austin), Windsor State Bank, FastSigns, Mail n Copy of Windsor, Vestas Blades America and an anonymous sponsor. Event revenue, including in‐kind support, exceeded $34,000. Proceeds will be used to provide grants to local nonprofit organizations that support basic needs in the community and scholarships to Windsor High School students
