Roosters Brewing Company

Dear Friends of Roosters,

If you have been our friend for long, you know that we have been involved in numerous partnerships over the years and sponsored many community events.     Although we can’t act on every opportunity that comes our way,  one of our company goals is to partner with organizations that make a difference or just plain matter to us.   The partnership I am about to explain is no exception.

The Utah Chapter of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) has asked us to join them in finding a cure for kids with diabetes.   This partnership with JDRF hits close to home for us as one of valued and founding employees has been diagnosed with and managing Juvenile Diabetes since he was a teenager.     We have chosen three of our top-selling menu items  (What a Crock and Pepper Jack Shrimp appetizers and Bee’s Knees Honey Wheat brew) and will donate a portion of sales to JDRF.    We will also be accepting donations on behalf of JDRF.  This special campaign will take place from today through Sept 19 at both the Roosters’ Layton and Ogden locations.

I know this is short notice, but if you or someone you care about has been touched by JDRF, please join us tonight (August 18^th) at 6:30 p.m. at the Layton Roosters Restaurant to kick off the campaign with JDRF.    We will have light appetizers, some live music and a few remarks from the JDRF Executive Director and a family that advocates for JDRF.

We have some really fun events coming up in the next few weeks so watch for our newsletter later this week.   In the meantime, we wish you and yours an enjoyable day in this perfect weather!

With much appreciation,

Kym and Pete

** And more than anything,  do your part and come in and eat the special menu items to support the JDRF cause!

About the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

JDRF is the leader in research leading to a cure for type 1 diabetes in the world.  It sets the global agenda for diabetes research, and is the largest charitable funder and advocate of diabetes science worldwide. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.  Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal.  Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump – each day, every day of their lives.  And even with that intensive care, insulin is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
