Maine Girls Pint Out - Cancer Care of Maine
Wanting to help spread the mission of the local Girls Pint Out chapter in Maine and raise funds for a great cause, Lisa Sturgeon, Communications and Resource Manager at Geaghan’s Pub & Craft Brewery teamed up with Maine GPO Chair Jessica Lothian. The local brewery offered to pay for the production Maine GPO shirts, if they would be sold for minimum $20 donation with all proceeds benefiting Cancer Care of Maine.
One hundred percent of the funds raised for Cancer Care of Maine stay right in eastern Maine to support local cancer research. The Geaghan family was touched by cancer a few years ago, when family member and employee of the pub Dawna Moore-Hensley, was diagnosed and then lost her battle with the disease. Since then, they have become large supporters of local cancer charities and events.
“Dawna, loved craft beer and hated cancer. With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the GPO’s love of the color pink, it was the perfect time to partner ” said Lisa.
The shirts feature the Maine GPO logo on the front, Geaghan Bros Brewery logo on the back and a pink cancer ribbon on the front hip. Shirts may be purchased at the MGPO Beer Pairing Dinner at Geaghan’s Pub on October 19th or by contacting Lisa at lisa@geaghans.com until they sell out.
