Community events
Beer & Hymns | The 80s
Totally Tubular! We're going back to the 80s for some gnarly tunes and rad beats. Join us to sing along, raise your glass, and support our August charity, Rampy MS Research Foundation.
Rampy MS Research Foundation wants to change the game—to be a catalyst in directing Multiple Sclerosis research dollars toward a cure. Through a long-standing partnership with the University of Arkansas-Medical Science (UAMS), they are working to identify and support MS researchers working toward a cure. Founded by Scott Rampy and his wife Jo, who lives with MS, the foundation and their events also show other people living with MS that they’re not alone.
Ways to Donate
