On Tuesday, February 4th, local Tempe brewery Catalyst Crafted Ales began the brewing process for the Tempe Chamber of Commerce charity beer. Tempe Chamber President/CEO Robin Arredondo-Savage explains, “We’re thrilled to partner with Catalyst Crafted Ales to bring this special brew to our community in support of the Tempe Chamber Foundation. This collaboration is a perfect blend of local craftsmanship and community impact — every can sold helps fund vital programs that support our businesses, workforce and future leaders.
Robin Arredondo-Savage and Tempe Chamber Board Chair Tom Binge, along with Tempe Mayor Corey Woods and members of the Tempe City Council, were on hand to help kick off the brewing process.
On Wednesday, February 26th, the Tempe Chamber of Commerce proudly unveiled its exclusive charity beer at a successful launch event hosted at Catalyst Crafted Ales with Tempe City Lifestyle Magazine. Tempe Chamber members, Tempe City Council members and local business leaders gathered to celebrate this exciting collaboration, which supports the Tempe Chamber Foundation’s impactful programs.
Proceeds from the beer directly benefit Career Ready Tempe, a summer internship program that connects high school students with career opportunities. The Foundation also supports Tempe Leadership, Tempe Youth Leadership and Tempe Cares, all of which cultivate leadership and community engagement.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to raise a glass — and funds — for a great cause! If you missed the launch, you can still support Career Ready Tempe by purchasing the beer at Catalyst Crafted Ales or scanning the QR Code to donate. Cheers to community and opportunity!
