While the root beer garden does not charge a fee, it does gratefully accept “tips” in the form of donations for the Children’s Cancer Association, a not-for-profit organization based in Portland that works to positively impact the care and quality of life for seriously ill children and teens with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses throughout Oregon and the United States.

This year, 100% of all money raised in the root beer garden will be matched by the Holiday Ale Festival, then donated directly to the Children’s Cancer Association.
