At 10:15 Mark talks with Mac McSpadden and Sondra Freeman of Midwest Music Foundation, about the KC Pils Campaign with Boulevard Brewing Co. As reported by The Kansas City Star’s Joyce Smith (Oct. 1, 2013) “Boulevard Brewing Co.’s new “10% for KC” program has selected some new charities to help. Under the program announced earlier this year, the Kansas City brewery is donating 10 percent of the sales of its KC Pils each quarter to three different charities. Three different groups have been named as beneficiaries of KC Pils sales during the fourth quarter: First Downs for Down Syndrome, the Midwest Music Foundation, and Synergy Services. During the last 10 days of the quarter, members of the public can vote for their favorite charity among the three. The charity getting the most online votes will receive 60 percent of the available funds raised during that quarter; the runners-up will get 20 percent each.”
