Howard Hanna Beverly-Hanks Presents:

KARMA KEG

Sip. Support. Cheer.

Turning Pints into Purpose

What is Karma Keg?

Karma Keg is a community fundraiser hosted by Howard Hanna | Beverly-Hanks in partnership with local breweries across Western North Carolina. Each event brings people together to enjoy great local craft beverages while supporting area nonprofits. Guests make a suggested donation, nominate their favorite local 501(c)(3) organization, and at the end of the evening one nonprofit is randomly selected to receive 100% of the funds raised. Since launching in 2017, Karma Keg has helped connect local businesses, breweries, and community members in a fun and meaningful way to give back.

The idea behind Karma Keg is simple:

Make a suggested $10 donation, nominate your favorite local Western North Carolina nonprofit (must be a 501(c)(3)), and receive a drink ticket for a delicious craft beer or non-alcoholic beverage as a thank-you for your support.

Stop by anytime after 6:00 PM. At about 7:30 PM, we'll draw one nomination card from the Karma Keg, and the nonprofit listed on that card will receive the entire evening's proceeds. Have a favorite community nonprofit? Invite your friends, family, and supporters to attend and help increase its chances of being selected.
