The Association of Faculty and Friends (AFF) of the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center will host its first in-person fundraiser, The Englewood Beer Pairing. The event will take place on Thursday, Jan. 27, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at The Englewood, 1219 Research Blvd., Hummelstown. Both in-person and to-go options will be available.

The event will feature three guest speakers. Emily Wilson, The Englewood's front of house director, will explain the pairings. The Englewood head chef and the head brewer will lead a question-and-answer session on brewing beer and food preparation.

Participants will receive four 12-ounce beer pours in glasses, paired with two large savory crostini and two large sweet crostini.

After the presentation, guests will be able to take home one crowler of their choice from The Englewood selection. Those placing to-go orders will also be able to make a crowler selection to take home in addition to the food and beverages in the presentation.

Participants must be age 21 or older to participate in this event. The cost of a ticket per person includes the entire package of beers, food, and Hershey Chocolate pairings. A portion of the ticket is a tax-deductible donation that supports AFF grants, scholarship, research, and community projects.

Tickets must be purchased by Thursday, Jan. 20, at https://pennstatehealth.donordrive.com/. For more information or to become a member, contact aff2022fundraiser@gmail.com.
