Breastfest Returns To Marin This Saturday

July 17, 2015 By Jay Brooks

bteastfest
This Saturday, the Breastfest moves back to Marin, and will be held this year at the Fairground Island at the Marin Civic center in San Rafael. The fest starts at Noon tomorrow, and tickets are $55 in advance and $65 at the door. Either way, it’s supporting a great cause. Over 60 breweries and 10 wineries coming together in hopes of raising money for a cancer clinic offering alternative treatments for low-income women with cancer. The new location is awesome When I first moved to Marin, we lived near the Civic Center and spent a lot of time there. It’s a great spot for a festival.

The Breastfest is a unique fundraiser in that it is organized 100% by volunteers and 100% of the proceeds goes directly to low-income women who are battling cancer right now. These women are our mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, cousins and friends and they are truly grateful for your support. This cause is particularly personal to me, as I lost my mother to breast cancer when I was only 21 years old.

For its 15th year of fundraising, The Breastfest beer festival has a new location back in beautiful Marin County at the Marin Center on the Fairground Island. The fundraiser will feature endless eats and bottomless cups at no additional charge. Sip beers from 38 of the best California Breweries while listening to live music and supporting a great charitable cause.

All the Proceeds from the popular event will benefit Oakland’s Charlotte Maxwell Clinic, an award-winning non-profit women’s health provider. A pillar of low-income medical care in the Bay Area, Charlotte Maxwell has supported and saved thousands of lives by providing complementary integrative treatments for low-income women with cancer for 25 years. To date, the Breast Fest is the largest fundraiser for the clinic, which does not receive public funds.

A free-of-charge clinic that specializes in complete care for those who need it most, the clinic’s innovative comprehensive care model supports women medically and financially during treatment, giving a safety net that allows for full recovery.

    Worked it today as a “pourer” w/my good friend Ed Chainey & 2 other gents – great venue & everything went superbly. Because of the warm day, they opened the gates @ around 11:35 so people didn’t have to stand around in the sun; food was out shortly after noon – no long lines for it (or for the porta-johns) all day. However, the crowd was smaller (& older average age) than the last few yrs @ Fort Mason, & I saw none of the end-of day drunken idiocy that I’ve seen at other festivals I’ve worked with Ed (including many previous Breastfests & Celebrator Anniversary Party gigs). Congrats to Brendan & crew for another fine event – I hope word gets out & attendance improves next year @ the same venue, the best advantages of which are ample FREE parking & easier access by car than Ft Mason. A lot of folks took advantage of the Lyft offer.
