Just a reminder…. Horny Goat Brewing Co. partners with Wisconsin Harley-Davidson to raise money for Stars and Stripes Honor Flight
Friday, October 31, 2014
    Milwaukee, Wis. - Horny Goat Brewing Co. and Wisconsin Harley-Davidson raffled off a Harley Iron 883 motorcycle and will present the proceeds - a check for $4,746 - to Stars and Stripes Honor Flight, Inc. during a charity fundraiser at the Horny Goat Brew Pub, 2011 S. 1st St., on November 9th. Stars and Stripes Honor Flight, Inc. provides a free day trip to Washington, D.C. for World War II, Korean War and terminally ill veterans.

    Stars and Stripes Honor Flight has transported more than 1,000 veterans to D.C. since its inception in Wisconsin in 2009. With its "Operation Resolve" initiative, 300 veterans at a time are flown at no cost to tour monuments and memorials around the National Mall for a day. For many of the participants, this is a very special trip as it's their first chance to visit these memorials.

    "I saw the "Honor Flight: One Last Mission" documentary and was moved by it. My father is a Korean veteran and I'm excited to be able to give back to those who've put their lives on the line so we can enjoy the freedoms we have today," said Jim Sorenson, Horny Goat Brewing Co. owner and CEO.

    During Horny Goat's November 9th "Stars and Stripes Goat Gives Back" event, the brew pub will also donate 5 percent of its gross sales to Honor Flight between 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Patrons are also encouraged to give cash donations and any donation over $10 will receive one free beer from the pub.

    For more information on the November 9th event, contact Horny Goat's Marketing Manager Matthew Capaul at matt@hgbrewing.com. For more information on Honor Flight, visit: www.starsandstripeshonorflight.org.
