Fun nights out that raise money, and hands-on time helping the organizations we support.
Poker tournaments
Our signature fundraiser. Texas Hold'em at local pubs, with prizes for the top three and a share of the pot going to that event's charity.
Tap takeovers
We partner with local breweries and taprooms. Come have a pint, and part of the night's sales supports our charities.
Golf tournament
Our charity golf day is planned to return in summer 2027. Watch this space for details.
Volunteer work
Guild members give their time as well as money, rolling up our sleeves to lend a hand to local nonprofits.
