New Belgium's Second Annual Clips of Faith Beer & Film Tour Raised Nearly $59,000 for Nonprofits Around the Country
11,000 Attendees Gathered for Outdoor Films and Beer Tastings
(firmenpresse) - FT. COLLINS, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/07/11 -- Clips of Faith, New Belgium Brewing's traveling philanthropic beer and film festival, recently wrapped up a record-shattering(!) 18-city tour. The second-year festival outperformed last year, bringing out 11,000 people in cities across the U.S. for amateur short films, New Belgium's esoteric Lips of Faith beers () and food from local vendors. In total, Clips of Faith raised almost $59,000 for local non-profits (see how your city did below). Over its two-year run, Clips of Faith has raised approximately $91,000.
At each Clips of Faith stop, all proceeds from beer sales benefitted local, sustainably focused nonprofit partners. Attendees help support local organizations while sampling hard-to-find New Belgium beers beneath the stars. Eighteen of the best Clips of Faith short film entries screen at every show. In addition, each event had a zero waste component, diverting, on average, 91 percent of the waste from landfills and encouraging alternative transportation.
"There is something extraordinary about bringing out a community to support the arts and their local nonprofit organizations," said Christie Catania, Clips of Faith Manager-at-Large. "Watching inspired short films and sipping beer under the stars is a great way to spend a summer evening. This tour grew exponentially from last year, showing that people enjoy the concept as much as we do."
The creative team at New Belgium Brewing reviewed and selected the films that went on tour and picked three filmmakers to visit New Belgium for the Ft. Collins screening. Those honorees were "Bottles" by Colorado resident Geoff Maddaford; "Tiny Day in Jackson Hole Backcountry" by Wyoming's Tristan Greszko; and "Assisted Migration" by Dusan Harminc of Wisconsin. Honorable Mentions were: "BLOB," Trevor Hawkins, Missouri; "The Millionaires Club," Sam Nuttmann, Washington; and "Ski and Chalk," Chris Dickey, Wyoming.
