Go the extra Yards: Take Dad to PennFuture on Tap!

Kick off Father's Day weekend with a fundraiser for PennFuture at Yards Brewing Company in Philadelphia this Friday from 7:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. It's not too late — you can still attend this premiere event! A limited number of tickets will be available at the door.

Treat Dad to a great evening of food and drink, and feel good about supporting local sustainable businesses and PennFuture. Enjoy the three-hour open bar with a wide selection of terrific craft beers from Yards Brewing (plus wine and soft drinks, too). Eat delicious food from Whole Foods Callowhill and the award-winning Guerrilla Ultima food truck. Take a tour of Pennsylvania's first 100 percent wind powered brewery.

Skip the trip to the mall and pick up Dad's gift at our silent auction.

Here's just a small sample of the donated items:

C'mon, hop to it! Come to PennFuture On Tap!

Please join us for a great night of good beer and tasty food at our premiere PennFuture on Tap* event.

We'll host this fundraiser at Yards Brewery Company, the first brewery in Pennsylvania to be  completely powered by wind, from 7:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. on Friday, June 19. 

Support local sustainable businesses and PennFuture when you purchase your tickets on our secure website and then watch our tagline -- Every environmental victory grows the economy -- come to life at this unique event venue. 

Pennsylvania's growing craft brewery industry -- ranked fourth in the U.S. by the Brewers Association -- contributes $2 billion annually to our economy and provides over 20,000 Pennsylvania jobs.

To make all that beer, the brewing industry needs lots of clean air and clean water. That's where we come in: PennFuture works hard every day to protect these resources for all of us. And that's where you come in: To help PennFuture continue this work, we need YOU and your support!

Our special guest will be Philadelphia Water Department Commissioner Howard Neukrug, a national leader in urban sustainability and the creator of Philadelphia’s Green City, Clean Waters program. Alongside Commissioner Neukrug's leadership, the Philadelphia Water Department provides clean drinking water and integrated wastewater and stormwater services for more than 2.3 million people.

Please join us. Learn something new. Enjoy an open bar with Yards' Revolution and Signature Ales. Sample food from Guerilla Ultima Food Truck. Take a brewery tour and bid on something wonderful in the silent auction.
