DSASNJ Guest Bartender Event at Double Nickel Brewery

Image 1 of 24

This Friday was World Down Syndrome Day and the DSASNJ held their annual Guest Bartender fundraiser that night at Double Nickel Brewing Co. in Pennsauken.

The night appeared to be a huge success as the massive brewery was packed with supporters of the organization. There were so many guests that overflow parking at nearby Pennsauken High School was needed, with jitney bus service ferrying attendees to and from the event.

This is the third year the DSASNJ (Down Syndrome Association of Southern New Jersey) has held the event, and their first time at Double Nickel.

The fundraiser features the organization’s members with Down syndrome serving drinks to customers in an effort to raise funds for their programs.

Ahead of the event, supporters could sponsor individual bartender participants with donations, which led to them starting the night with over $13,000 raised. But that total should pale in comparison to the money raised at the brewery, as tips at the bars, raffles and other fund raising efforts will all be added to the total.

Enjoy our photo gallery from the night and be on the lookout for more coverage of the event and the organization coming soon.
