A Night to Help, Honor, and Heal
When we lost Olivia to leukemia three days after she was diagnosed in 2022, finding adequate grief support that met the needs of our family was a challenge, to say the least. Hearing our son express the simple, yet profound desire to “feel understood,” only added to the complexity. We encountered lengthy wait lists, seasonal programs, and a scarcity of grief resources within our community and so, we started The Olivia Chan Foundation to help others in their time of grief, to honor those we’ve lost and to help families heal.
We are excited to be collaborating with Claimstake Brewing to host Brewing Hope: A Night to Help, Honor, and Heal, on April 27, 2024. With your help and the help of others in our community, we hope to continue to raise funds for our programs with the ultimate goal of setting up a grief center in our community.
Come join us and enjoy prizes, music, speakers, auctions, along with delicious craft beer and food – all for a worthy cause.
Children 3 and under are free. Food and two drink tickets are included with each purchase. Registration starts at 4:30 pm and festivities begin at 5:00 and end at 8:00 pm. See you there!
