Tacoma Beer Week Pouring It Forward: Mary Bridge Dog Benefit

At MultiCare Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, everyone adores Olaf – not the charming snowman from the movies, but their beloved 8-year-old facility dog who brings joy to the pediatric ward.

He is a highly trained and certified facility dog who works closely with young patients, providing comfort and companionship. Olaf and his dedicated handler, Kristen Bishop, work together to minimize stress and anxiety for patients undergoing various procedures and treatments, making each visit brighter and more bearable.

Olaf could use some help! As part of Tacoma Beer Week, NW Beverages, Peaks & Pints, and Great Notion Brewing will host a benefit to help support the facility dog program at Mary Bridge with an Olaf Coloring Contest, silent auction, and specialty beer from Great Notion from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, March 7 at Peaks & Pints. Proceeds from every tap pour will support Olaf and the growth of the Multicare Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital Facility Dog Program. The silent auction will feature items from local businesses, including Lucky Dog Outfitters, Wag Pet Market, H & L Produce, Harbor Greens, and Peaks & Pints, to name a few.
