| Description |
 Edible Crawl for a Cure is a gourmet food and pub crawl through more than a dozen, primarily independent Downtown and Midtown microbreweries, wine bars, restaurants, and coffee houses. An anticipated 1,500 crawlers will participate in this "Fun-Raiser" for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, which funds research and care centers (including UC Davis and Sutter hospitals locally) to fight CF and care for the more than 30,000 in the US that have cystic fibrosis. The goal is to raise awareness of this genetic disease of the lungs and digestive system that currently has no cure, to focus on bringing research dollars to the Sacramento chapter of CFF, and to enjoy an amazing walk across the Central City. The event is the brainchild of midtowngrid.com and the Sacramento Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Crawl Captains will lead crews of 10-30 people on a gourmet and pub jaunt. Each location will pair samples of food and drink with entertainment sprinkled along The Grid, greetings from the Sacred City Roller Derby Girls, and chalk art by Chalk It Up! to Sacramento. Discount overnight stays will be available through the Clarion Mansion Inn.
Businesses, community organizations and groups of friends and family are encouraged to organize teams for the event and show their team spirit and increase their visibility by wearing t-shirts or similar identifying clothing to let people know of their participation and support of the CF Foundation. As an added incentive, the leader of each group, or Crawl Captain, will be eligible to receive a complimentary admission ticket for recruiting at least 10 people to their team.
Participating establishments include: Rubicon Brewing Co., Brew It Up!, Zocalo, 58 Degrees & Holding Co., Mason's Restaurant, Parlare Euro Lounge, Tapa the World, Buckhorn Grill, Yogurt a go-go, Stonegrill & Bar, L Wine Lounge and Urban Kitchen, Old Soul Co., Bistro 33 Midtown, Sanad's Mediterranean Deli, Sofia's, Azul and Mansion Court Cafe (Clarion Mansion Inn).NOTE: No one under 21 years old will be admitted. |
