About the Event:

Summer 2026 will be “Saved by the Berry.” 412 Food Rescue teams up with Velum Fermentation to come to the rescue of nearly 10,000 pounds of recovered strawberries and mixed berries, upcycling them into a refreshing hard cider .

The launch party, “Now That’s What I Call 90s!”, features ’90s tunes, free pickleball on Velum’s courts, raffle baskets, and a best‑dressed contest (winner receives a $50 Velum gift card and a case of beer or cider) .

What’s Included: Each ticket includes two drinks from the menu.

Proceeds: 10% of proceeds from sales of the cider support 412 Food Rescue’s work fighting food waste and food insecurity.
