As Big Ditch Brewing Company has grown since we first opened in 2014, we have increasingly tried to allocate funds towards donations that we hope will positively impact our community.
We have a few important partnerships we've established that we're excited to announce in the coming weeks. We'd like to announce another donation initiative today as well.
Not enough is being said about this, but this Friday June 3rd is National Gun Violence Awareness Day. You can read about it here:

On this day, we will donate $1 from every item sold in our tap room (entrees, apps, pints, flights, even beer samples) to Everytown for Gun Safety. Everytown is the largest gun violence prevention organization in America, fighting for changes that will save lives. They are a movement of more than 8 million mayors, teachers, survivors, gun owners, students, and everyday Americans. They have national, state, and local chapters of their organization.

This isn't controversial - this is about preventing gun violence. No one wants to die from gun violence.
While we know that no single action on our part can make up for the losses felt by so many that have been personally affected, we hope these small contributions are a start. We hope you will join us at our tap room on Friday June 3rd to assist in the effort.
As always, we appreciate you, our customers, as well as the city of Buffalo. Thank you.
