SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - A successful fundraiser was recently held for the Smaine Fund at Lake Tahoe AleworX and Cocktail Corner. A total of $13,000 was raised for the fund named for the late Kyle Smaine, a local champion halfpipe skier who died in an avalanche in Japan in January 2023.
AleWorX hosted the Stio 5 Point Film Festival on September 28. A portion of the evening's proceeds were donated to the Fund along with money raised in a raffle that featured some great prizes donated by the community. Also fueling the Smaine Fund were the sales of Smaine Fund/AleWorX 4-packs of beer.
The special beers will continue to be sold with AleWorX donating $1 per can as part of an initiative to grow the Smaine Fund which is a charity committed to providing support and assistance to up-and-coming athletes in outdoor sports.
Luca Genasci, owner of AleWorX and the Y and Cocktail Corner, is encouraging people to not only stop by and purchase the Special Edition Smaine Fund Beer but also for other restaurants, bars, liquor, and grocery stores to consider purchasing and selling it in their locations as part of the fundraising initiative.
