Why are we raising funds?

Each ticket purchased, bid placed, and donation made during this event funnels into a stream of support for the Highland Support Project. These contributions specifically target the development of essential public health infrastructure in highland indigenous communities. Imagine turning on a clean, efficient indoor cookstove that doesn't pollute the indoor air, or accessing sanitation systems that prevent the spread of diseases. Picture communities collecting rainwater through sophisticated harvesting systems, utilizing water-efficient irrigation to nourish their crops, and participating in reforestation efforts to protect critical water sources. By joining us, you contribute to these real, life-changing projects. It's more than a day of exceptional music and brews; it's an avenue to bolster eco-friendly health infrastructure, ensuring that vital resources like clean water and fresh air are preserved for future generations. Together, we pave the way for a healthier, more sustainable existence for highland communities far and wide.
