At a charity golf outing, three friends—Kyle Flynn, Sarah Fegre, and Cassandra Weis—came to a few realizations:
- Networking events can be pricey, and too many require costly memberships.
- Big-name nonprofits often get the fundraising spotlight, while smaller ones struggle for support.
- Local small businesses rarely have the budget to sponsor—or even participate in—traditional charity events.
There had to be a better way. So, they did what any resourceful, beer-loving do-gooders would do: they created Pints with Purpose.
It’s a simple (but brilliant) concept:
- A quarterly happy hour at a Dane County brewery.
- Featuring one small business sponsor and one local nonprofit.
- A laid-back way to connect with professionals who actually care.
- Zero memberships. Zero entry fees. Just good people, good beer, and good causes.
- And the best part? 100% of the dollars raised go straight to the featured nonprofit.
The first event kicked off in January 2025 at ALT Brew, drawing over 40 people and raising over $1,400—not too shabby for a happy hour! In addition, we were so grateful to have the talented videographer Alex Whipple of Life Echo Media there to help document the special night.
If you love supporting local businesses, giving back, and enjoying a pint (or two), join us at the next Pints with Purpose.
Cheers to making an impact—one beer at a time!
