Raise your glass to great beer, scrumptious bites and a good cause!

Strong Memorial Hospital's volunteer group, Friends of Strong, is hosting its 8th Beer & Food Pairing Party to benefit patient-centered care initiatives at the Hospital—bring your friends to sample Three Heads' craft beers paired with a decadent selection of small bites to please your taste buds. 

This fun Saturday afternoon event features several popular Rochester-area restaurants and bakeries that each bring a delicious flavor combination to enjoy.

While you're there you can kick back, relax or play a game of corn hole or Giant Jenga with your friends in the outdoor beer garden.

All attendees will receive a commemorative tasting glass to take home.

Tickets are just $35 each online until 12 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19 (or $40 at the door), and are also available at the Friends of Strong office (1-1230) located near the Main Lobby at Strong Memorial Hospital (between the Gift Shop and Green Elevators) to pay with cash, credit or check.

You must be at least 21 years of age to attend this event.
