Message Forgetfu 10:12 Fri 7/4/2014 LAMBCS AGAINST LEUKEMIA II - WORLD CUP Hey everyone - I’m going to run this beer giveaway round as well. All of the beer is coming from Bryan Turner, Jean Van Roy at Cantillon, and Armand Debelder at 3 Fonteinen who have stepped in to help! The beers being given away are AMAZING. A few quick notes before Bryan’s message. For those of you who don’t know Owen, Owen is an amazing 3 year old who was diagnosed a few months ago with B Cell All Leukemia. His dad is the beer manager at FreshCraft in Denver and an active member of the online beer community and his mom is a student. This is a 3 year treatment plan that comes with a lot of ups and downs. You can read Casey (his mom’s) post about the spinal tap that he just underwent on the youcaring site ’updates’ tab. This round will be open to anyone worldwide! However, like last round, i could use the help of two or three volunteers to pick up shipping if any boxes are won internationally. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Please take a moment out of today’s celebration to make a donation and help Owen with his fight! ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Beer Community, I’ll keep this as short... Bill Young kicked off the fundraising efforts for Owen’s Leukemia Recovery with an awesome few lots of beers in January and a wonderful group of 10 contributors headed in a wide variety of awesome boxes: Last Round: http://www.ratebeer.com/forums/community-sponsored-fundraiserhelp-a-rb-member-whos-son-has-leukemia_256197.htm Last round raffle: http://youtu.be/p-_K0n5F8yc To-date, people have generously donated over $22,500 through http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/o-s-big-fight-/117602 . More than half of that has come from the beer community. I know Owen, Casey, and Matt really appreciate all of the love, support, thoughts and prayers. Round III begins now... "Lambics against Leukemia II – World Cup": As the World Cup is in full-swing, Round III to help Owen’s Leukemia Recovery goes global!

In addition, there is a grand prize stretch goal box that will be raffled off only if we hit this round’s target goals:

You are absolutely welcome to you if you’d like. We will ship winning boxes overseas. The only problem is that youcaring.com won’t accept some overseas donations. But we can work around that with things like paypal.
