Dinner to raise funds for Driftwood’s ailing Head Brewer

Driftwood Brewing’s Head Brewer, Tim Fukushima

Beer-paired dinner to raise funds for Driftwood’s ailing Head Brewer

On Sunday, March 24, the Marina Restaurant will host a fundraising dinner and auction in support of Driftwood Brewing’s Head Brewer, Tim Fukushima. Tim was diagnosed with leukemia in mid-February. He and his wife immediately left their home and their jobs for Vancouver, where Tim began an intense 6 to 12 month treatment.

Proceeds from the fundraising evening will go to Tim and his wife, Marina employee Holly Ball, to help lessen the economic blow as Tim continues his treatment in Vancouver.

The event will include a beer-paired dinner with a menu specially prepared by Chef Jeff Keenliside and beer supplied by Driftwood, Lighthouse, Phillips, Hoyne, Vancouver Island and Moon Under Water breweries. A silent auction and raffle featuring donated items will complete the evening.
