From Mims & Leinenkugel’s:
Raleigh, NC,- Mims Distributing Company, a North Carolina wholesale beverage distributor, announced that the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company’s Canoes for a Cause campaign will hold its third annual North Carolina event on Saturday, June 13 from 10 a.m. to noon at Lake Johnson in Wake County. This year Leinenkugel and Mims Distributing have partnered with Keep North Carolina Beautiful, a grassroots organization assisting communities with active beautification and anti-litter programs, to host the volunteer litter cleanup event.
The Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company’s Canoes for a Cause supports local water stewardship efforts and demonstrates the brewery’s passion for water quality. The main ingredient for beer is water, leading breweries like Leinenkugel to rely on local water sources for production efforts. This need is one of the driving forces behind the brewery’s initiative to maintain clean waterways and resources. Previous events have been hosted in Chicago, Denver, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Madison, Wisconsin and Cleveland. Following the cleanup, there will be a volunteer appreciation party with Leinenkugel beers and raffle prizes.
Mims Distributing emphasizes clean, safe waterways as beer and wine production relies heavily on water. This partnership with Leinenkugel is one of many ways Mims reinforces its mission to preserve the state’s natural resources.
Pre-registration is requested and can be completed online at http://keepncbeautiful.org or by calling (919) 783-6993.
”Pure, clean water has always been an important part of Leinenkugel’s brewing heritage,” said Dick Leinenkugel, President of Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company. “It’s great to see Mims Distributing Company and Keep North Carolina Beautiful continue their leadership in preserving local water resources.”
“We are excited to partner with Leinenkugel for the third consecutive year to lead efforts in creating clean water resources throughout North Carolina and preserving Lake Johnson,” said Chip Mims, CEO at Mims Distributing Company. “The people at Leinenkugel share our passion for environmental conservation and giving back to the community. We encourage everyone to come out and have a fun day on the like while making a difference in the environmental quality of our area.”
