\"\"<\/a>When I was diagnosed with the chronic auto-immune disease, lupus, in 2014, I felt very ill and entirely defenseless. I\u2019d been suffering from the condition without a diagnosis for nearly a decade and was dismayed that there is no cure or medications specifically engineered to combat lupus. Nearly three years later, I am still rather ill, but I feel emboldened and lifted by the support of so many in the brewing community (60-plus and counting)\u00a0 who have come together to help, not just me, but lupus patients throughout San Diego and Imperial Counties, by participating in the Beer to the Rescue <\/strong><\/a>charity campaign established to raise funds for the Lupus Foundation of Southern California<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Over the past two years, this campaign has raised more than $70,000 to fund the complimentary support services the LFSC provides locals in need as well as their work to support research and educational initiatives. Because dozens of San Diego County breweries brewed charity beers, made donations and held fundraising events, the LFSC is able to do more and people like me have reasons to be more helpful. We also have cause for increased happiness. Before Beer to the Rescue, most of the lupus sufferers the organization helps only saw each other when commiserating at support group gatherings. A fringe benefit of this cause is that its events are fun ways for lupus patients to comingle in an enjoyable, uplifting atmosphere where they feel cared for and supported. For that, we thank the participating breweries as well as the many, many beer fans who have come out to support the cause. It\u2019s all of this that led me to push to make this year\u2019s Beer to the Rescue campaign the biggest and best yet for all of us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The 2017 Beer to the Rescue calendar kicked off on May 1 <\/strong>and includes over 40 events packed into the month of May\u2014Lupus Awareness Month. At least one event will take place at a local brewery or watering hole each day this month, and hit numerous communities from Downtown to Fallbrook to Oceanside to PB to La Mesa and more, providing opportunities for beer enthusiasts and humanitarians all over the county to take part and enjoy some good beer and good times, in many cases right alongside the LFSC\u2019s volunteers and beneficiaries. The full schedule is provided below. Thank you to everyone out there who has helped move the needle and make a positive difference for our region\u2019s lupus patients. It means more than you can know and we look forward to seeing you around San Diego in May! To keep up with Beer to the Rescue, you can check out the campaign\u2019s official website<\/strong><\/a> or follow on social media via Facebook<\/strong><\/a>, Twitter <\/strong><\/a>or Instagram<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(@beertotherescue)<\/em>.<\/p>\n
