Beer-makers seek victory over breast cancer

Posted by ChaddsFordLive on October 1, 2015

Nearly two decades after a couple of childhood friends achieved victory by creating a successful craft beer business, Victory Brewing Company wants to achieve another win in the fight against breast cancer.

During October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Victory will be raising money for two local organizations: Living Beyond Breast Cancer and Fox Chase’s Irma H. Russo, MD Breast Cancer Research Laboratory. Both groups strive to bring support and find a cure for those who are affected by breast cancer, a Victory press release said.

Victory plans to donate a portion of the sale of the following items: draft Kirsch Gose, available at Victory brewpubs and select retail partners throughout the Philadelphia area; Victory Over Breast Cancer pins, available at Victory brewpubs and select retail partners; and Victory Over Breast Cancer T-shirts, available at Victory’s retail store and online.
