AirWave at Good People Benefits Three Waterkeepers on 3/24

For Immediate Release: March 1, 2018

Birmingham, AL – Good People Brewing Company is hosting the 7th Annual AirWave festival to benefit Black Warrior Riverkeeper, Cahaba Riverkeeper, and Coosa Riverkeeper from 1 PM to 10 PM on Saturday, March 24.  The family-friendly public event features dozens of live bands, talented artists, charity exhibits, silent auction, food trucks, and Good People’s high quality beers brewed on premises.

Sponsorships, merchandise sales, silent auction, optional donations, and proceeds from beer sales at the festival will equally support all three of the Greater Birmingham area’s Waterkeeper organizations.  The three Waterkeeper Alliance groups have received generous grants from The Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham to enhance their collaborations protecting the region’s vital water resources.

“We are proud to support the initiatives of Black Warrior, Cahaba, and Coosa Riverkeepers,” said Lauren McCurdy, Director of Marketing at Good People Brewing.  “Without their efforts, brewers wouldn’t be able to brew the high quality beer citizens of Alabama have come to know and expect.”

“We made AirWave an event where everyone can celebrate our local rivers, and support the organizations fighting for their conservation,” added Dan Morriss, AirWave’s producer.  “Eventgoers can look forward to a waterfall of local music and artistic performances.”
