What did we do with the money we raised from the 2023 Parker Brewfest?

The CCV Rotary Club of Parker has already started to distribute funds that the Brewfest raised for charitable organizations like The Parker Task Force that serves our local community with food and financial assistance and Project Sanctuary, which supports Veterans as they reconnect with their family after they get back from active duty.  For more information about Project Sanctuary visit: https://www.facebook.com/ProjectSanctuary

We also have donated money to the following organizations and many more!
-Homes for Our Troops: Builds homes for our disabled veterans nation-wide including Douglas County.
– Parker Task Force and Douglas/Elbert Task Force: Provides food & financial support in our community.
– CCV Rotary Club presents the Peaceful Schools curriculum at local elementary schools to eliminate bullying.
– CCV Rotary Club provides regular and recurring volunteer support to the Douglas County Support Center and several Interact (junior Rotary) clubs at local schools.

    – Handlebar Hard Cider is the genre-busting beverage that put us on the map. Drinking Handlebar is like biting into a fresh, crisp apple right off the tree. It begins with a burst of refreshing sweetness, opens up into wholesome apple goodness, and finishes with a hint of tartness from the apple skin. Some call Handlebar “apple juice for adults”. But at 6.8 percent ABV, you might not want to drink it for breakfast the way you used to (or maybe you do. We don’t judge). Handlebar is our flagship and is changing the way people think about cider. – Hopped Up is Handlebar that is dry hopped with organic Citra Hops to bring out the aromatic fruitiness of the apples. It is citrusy with a burst of bright fruit flavor. It is the perfect blend of crisp and delicious and still 100% gluten-free. With the hoppy familiarity of an IPA and the fruity nose of a Sauvignon Blanc, it is truly the best of both worlds and what some call “the best-tasting

    cider in Colorado.
