Garrison Brewing Co. Beer & Soda Fundraising Campaign

Garrison Brewing Co. Beer & Soda Fundraising Campaign

Our community partner, Garrison Brewing Co., is helping our BMO Ride participants level up their fundraising efforts. Garrison Brewing Co. is launching TWO custom-branded, limited-edition products – with a portion of the proceeds being donated to BMO Ride for Cancer.

Introducing Limited Edition & Release Face the Fight Against Cancer Ale and Ginger Lime Craft Soda!

  • $5 from every 6-pack limited-edition Face the Fight Against Cancer Ale ($26.99)
  • $2.50 from every 6-pack limited-edition Face the Fight Against Cancer Soda ($15.00)

This partnership with Garrison Brewing Co. is their commitment to giving back, supporting local cancer care, and rallying behind our BMO Ride community in a big way.

“BMO Ride for Cancer rallies people together to advance cancer care for our communities. The community has been integral to our mission at Garrison from the very beginning. We designed our local craft beer around the community – creating something from home that people could be proud of. We’re so proud to join forces with BMO Ride to help bring cancer care to the next level for our communities in Atlantic Canada,” says Brian Titus, Owner of Garrison Brewing Co.

RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION

  • We encourage our BMO Ride for Cancer participants and their networks to review Canada’s low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines to help reduce your long-term health risks. These are “low-risk” guidelines, not “no-risk” guidelines, as any amount of alcohol consumption can have risks to your overall health, including cancer
  • We’re proud to offer a non-alcoholic option – the Ginger Lime Craft Soda – to our youth participants and individuals who are abstaining from and limiting their alcohol consumption.
  • Drinking is a personal choice, and we encourage our BMO Ride community (who are 19 years of age and older) and their networks to make the choices and decisions that are the best for them
  • These guidelines are an excellent resource for those who drink and purchase the Limited Release Face the Fight Against Cancer Ale: https://novascotia.ca/dhw/addictions/documents/Canada-new-Low-Risk-Alcohol-Drinking-Guidelines.pdf
