Piano and Pints:
A weekly fundraiser for local organizations
From 6 - 8pm each Tuesday, we’ve partnered with our good friend and local musician Paul Klein to host Piano and Pints: A Community Support Night to raise funds for local organizations. Join us as he plays piano in the taproom, and $1 of each beer sold goes to a local organization!
Why?
Paul Klein has a long history with us, from playing piano in the taproom on Tuesdays for as long as we can remember, as well as performing in the beer garden with his long-term band The Atlantics. We put our heads together with Paul, and decided that Piano and Pints would be a great way to align our mutual interests of philanthropy and pushing money into locally invaluable organizations and their services.
How Piano and Pints Works: It’s as simple as drinking a beer.
Drink and enjoy music 6-8pm
$1 from every pint sold is donated
Local Musical Legend Paul Klein will be donating his tips and booking fee to the cause!

Fundraising for The Whatcom Community Foundation’s Resilience Fund - February
When unprecedented flooding hit Whatcom County, we scrambled to unite the Community to raise funds to provide relief for flood victims County-wide. Whatcom Live Aid was the answer. Boundary Bay coordinated with seven different businesses across the County to hold concerts where 100% of the proceeds went to benefit the Resilience Fund, where donations were then matched by members of the foundation.

The best part about fundraising for an important cause is dropping off the check!
