We are less than a month out from Midwest Madness 3.0 – the annual mega meetup raising money for Chive Charities. This year, we’re headed to The Gateway of the West, St. Louis, to party with a purpose. The boys from HQ and The Tailgaters will be in attendance, so be sure to get your tickets right HERE!
In the meantime, let’s take a look at some of the meetups that have gone down around the country and get in on the action by following Chive Nation on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
Bona Fide Central Florida Chive Had a Pubcrawl and raised $1,300 for A Gift for Teaching, a non-profit that provides resources and surplus materials free to teachers for their students in need.
Seven months ago, our Charlotte Chapter admins had a crazy idea to host a camping trip in the southeast. EastTN Berry, The Berry Asheville, Greensboro Chive, The Chive Jacksonville (NC), Columbia Area Chive, and the Chiverhood of the Traveling Pants all signed on.
The Holston River Brewing Company had the perfect area for the trip. After locking in the venue, the team set the itinerary which included pig pickin’, redneck games, a giant slip n slide, Berry brunch and much more.
In total, through the amazing weekend, the group raised $6,500 for Chive Charities. Do you want to get Bona Fide!? That’s how you get Bona Fide!
theCHIVE New Orleans recently had their summer event, “Chiving at the Shrine” – a pool party at the local minor league baseball park. Over 60 Chivers came and raised $700 for Evacuteer.org, a non-profit that helps the disadvantaged evacuate during hurricanes and other disasters.
Our Kansas City Chapter had their 5th Annual Summer Kickoff and raised $4,815 for Chive Charities. The chapter has partied with a purpose all year and with this meetup, crossed the $12,000 mark for Chive Charities. Congrats, guys! Way to help the underdogs!!
On June 23rd, Chive Minnesota held their third annual golf event at Deer Run Golf Club (Victoria, MN) and raised money for 101.3 KDWB’s Christmas Wish charity.
This charity helps to bring holiday cheer to local families who find themselves dealing with hard times during the Christmas season. Through the tournament, our Bona Fide Minnesota Chapter raised $7,000 for 101.3 KDWB’s Christmas Wish – stellar work!
Chive On North Dakota threw a party to raise money for a special girl named Kennedy Fylling. Kennedy was born with bilateral club feet & Streeters Dysplasia, causing her fingers and toes to not develop properly and grow together. This rare disorder affects only one in about 15,000. Many surgeries and braces will be needed throughout her life. Through their party, they were able to raise $5,339 for Kennedy. Nice work, guys!!!
