Raise your glass in hopes of a brighter future for people living with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) and FTD (frontotemporal dementia) at the seventh annual Hops for Hope. The fundraiser, which is organized by eight local families whose lives have been affected by ALS, including Julie and Marc Smith of Prior Lake, features wine and beer, food and live music.
According to the ALS Association, there are at least 18 people living with ALS in the communities of Apple Valley, Eagan, Lakeville and Prior Lake, but the disease has no cure and few treatments. All proceeds from Hops for Hope will be used to develop new treatments and cures for both ALS and FTD.
Hops for Hope; 1–8 p.m. September 7. Next Chapter Winery, 16945 320th St., New Prague; nextchapterwinery.com
