Cool Camp Week: Tacoma Girls Rock Benefit

Cool Camp Week: Tacoma Girls Rock Benefit
Peaks and Pints will celebrate its two-year anniversary with a series of prefunk celebrations kicking off Saturday, Oct. 27 and running through Thursday, Nov. 1. In honor of our Cool Camp IPA we brewed at Double Mountain Brewery in Hood River, Oregon, we’ve dubbed our string of anniversary parties, “Cool Camp Week,” with Double Mountain in the house for the beer release on our true anniversary date, Nov. 1.
Peaks and Pints’ Cool Camp isn’t the first cool camp in Tacoma. That honor goes to Tacoma Girls Rock Camp — an organization dedicated to empowering youth in the South Sound region through a music education camp. Peaks and Pints will host a fundraiser for Tacoma Girls Rock at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30, as part of our second anniversary week.
Tacoma Girls Rock was founded in January 2016, reaching recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit status eight months later. It helps “campers” form a band, then assists in writing, recording and performing an original song to the greater Tacoma community. Tacoma Girls Rock seeks to provide its campers with new experiences that encourage them to think about representation, defy gender stereotypes, practice collaboration in a creative environment and walk away with a tool for self-reflection and expression.
That rocks!
Music makes everything better. Garbage’s “Push It” turns the mundane task of vacuuming into a much more enjoyable task. Work at a telemarketer call center? Blondie’s “Call me” gives you hope customers will call you back. Piecing together Christmas gifts to Hole’s “Doll Parts” and you’ll add a bourbon barrel age stout and a smile to the task. OK, the last one was a stretch, but you get the point. Music makes everything better.
Tacoma Girls Rock knows it to be true. How about you?
Join us Tuesday, Oct. 30 in support of Tacoma Girls Rock Camp. Peaks and Pints will donate part of the proceeds from all draft sales that night to keep Tacoma girls rocking.
