Updated Help Us Benefit Joy Marshall

Logan — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 08:20:08 +0000

Sunday April 22, 2012
At The Crescent Moon
36th & Farnam

The Crescent Moon is hosting a benefit for our full-time bartender, Joy Marshall to help her with her battle against Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Tickets are available in Beertopia (36th and Farnam) for a $20 donation.

Although it is a curable form of cancer, the cost of treating it is expensive and during her treatments Joy won’t be able to work as often. All proceeds from this event go to Joy to help her with her expenses.

If you know Joy, then you know how great she is… but if you don’t know Joy, she is an amazing friend, hard worker, and has a lot of love for her customers.

Ticket price is a $20 donation (cash or checks only) and includes:

Food – All-You-Can-Eat chili bar with all the fixin’s

“Q. Tell us about yourself Chris!

A. I have been a bartender on Beer Corner USA since January of 2006. There is nothing I enjoy more than to convert people into Craft Beer Drinkers! I’m lucky enough to bartend at one of the Top 100 Beer Bars in the United States, in fact, we were recently selected as one of the Top 100 Beer Bars in America by DRAFT Magazine! Not only am I a bartender, and a craft beer fan creator, I also help teach our Beer School through Beertopia several times a year and am part of the Beer Corner USA’s “Beers of the Week” on YouTube where I review beers found in all three bars and Beertopia with my coworker, and fellow Beer School “Beerfessor”, Aaron Bush.
