Cider For A Cause: Benefiting Friends of Crescent Beach

Cider For A Cause: Benefiting Friends of Crescent Beach
May 26th, 4-7PM

Looking for something to do on a Tuesday night? Then consider stopping by the Cider & Spirits Bar to participate in “Cider For A Cause”!

Join us on select Tuesdays of the month from 4-7pm, where 10% of every glass, bottle, can, or growler of cider purchased goes to a local non-profit, and this month, it goes to help out Friends of Crescent Beach.

Friends of Crescent Beach (FOCB) formed as a watershed partner of the Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership (LNRP) in May of 2015 in response to citizen concerns. Those concerns included: storm drain outfalls emptying directly onto the beach; accumulations of algae; invasive plants; loafing birds; and litter. After conducting strategic planning sessions with community leaders and other stakeholders, an all-volunteer steering committee was formed to lead the organization.  FOCB understands the responsibility associated with being a Lake Michigan coastal community. This group promotes through advocacy, education, and planned activities regarding the improvement, support, protection, and enjoyment of Crescent Beach. Their vision is to see Crescent Beach transformed through government and citizen cooperation into a vibrant, healthy destination beach that is enjoyed by residents and visitors alike, and recognized as a model for best beach management practices.
