Links Taproom to Host Fundraising Event for LGBT Charities, 6/26

Links Taproom - an All-American craft beer and sausage focused neighborhood bar located at 1559 N Milwaukee Ave in Wicker Park - will honor the victims and all those affected by the Pulse nightclub massacre with a massive fundraiser for LGBTQ+ charities in Chicago and Orlando on Sunday, June 26 which is also National Gay Pride Day.

For the event, 100 percent of all craft beer, liquor, wine, and food sales at Links from open to close (11:30am until 2am) on Sunday, June 26 will be donated to the Chicago House and Social Service Agency (http://www.chicagohouse.org) and the GLBT Community Center of Central Florida (http://www.thecenterorlando.org). Links owner/beer director Mike Quinlan, a proud member of LGBTQ+ community, will personally match the total amount of money raised at Links that day.

Links is also working with craft breweries such as Bell's, Revolution, Goose Island, Transient, Anchor, and many others to aid in the fundraising efforts via on-site raffles and silent auctions of rare beer memorabilia on Sunday, June 26. All proceeds from the raffles and auctions will benefit to the same LGBTQ+ charities. Those unable to attend the event and still want to contribute to the cause can donate via PayPal at fuhate@linkstaproom.com.
