Pike's Pints For Prostates
|
Cheers, Bottoms Up, Down the Hatch… Men have hundreds of words for drinking, but a very limited language to discuss their health, particularly issues such as prostate cancer. They may know their IPA but do they know their PSA? At Pike Brewing Company on June 16, “Tie One On” is not about drinking. It’s about the blue ribbon, and raising mens’ prostate health awareness. Come support a campaign that is reaching millions of men through the universal language of beer. Every pint benefits the cause, so bring your friends and raise a glass to fight prostate cancer.

Pints for Prostates is a 501(c)3 organization that uses the universal language of beer to encourage men to take charge of their health. It was founded by drinks journalist and prostate cancer survivor, Rick Lyke in 2008; Rick is traveling to Seattle to be present at this event. The grassroots effort raises awareness among men of the importance of regular health screenings and PSA testing by making appearances at beer festivals, social networking, and pro bono advertising. The funds that Pints raises support programs that assist men with prostate cancer with research aimed at improving care and finding a cure for the disease. Pints for Prostates supports the Us TOO International,a 501(c) 3 charity founded in 1990 that works to support, educate, and advocate for men with prostate cancer and their families. Since its inception, Pints for Prostates has raised more than 60K to assist the Us TOO Support Network. More information is available at www.pintsforprostates.org. You can also find Pints on Facebook and Twitter @pints4prostates
Pike Brewing Company is proud to partner with Pints for Prostates, Us TOO International and Dendreon Corporation to make this a successful event. We encourage you to invite your brothers, fathers, husbands and friends to join us in lifting a pint of Pike; “through the universal language of beer” we can help effect a cure!
