More Bridges, Less Barriers

About this campaign

Bridge: 1. something that is intended to reconcile or form a connection between two things.

Barrier: 2. a fence or other obstacle that prevents movement or access.

“Beer is the vehicle driving us across the bridge to connect with others and change our community” - Eugenia Brown, Beer Chick LLC.

In thinking of ways to further bridge the gap between those in the industry, and those that desire to be, I’ve decided to help 50 minority women achieve Cicerone Level 1 Certified Beer Server status.

I hope to accomplish this by:

1. Using the funds raised from these t-shirt sales to purchase the $69.00 exam.
2. Offering support and study resources.

While this effort won’t “solve” all the issues we have in the craft beer industry, it will continue to support my belief that beer education should be accessible to everyone.

My hope is that by helping minority women achieve Cicerone Level 1 Certified Beer Server, I can help better prepare them for jobs in the beer industry, while also increasing their overall beer knowledge.

All funds will be offered on a “first come basis”, and once the funds have been received, they will go directly to the individual women for purchase of the exam.
