[Kenora, Ontario] – A unique collaboration in Kenora is proving that community spirit can be found in a beer can. The Lake of the Woods Brewing Company has officially launched its “Crowlers for a Cause” campaign, partnering with the Rotary Club of Kenora to fund a transformative project: an accessible park on Coney Island.
【安大略省基諾拉訊】 一場獨特的合作計畫正證明了社區精神也能蘊含在啤酒罐中。伍茲湖釀酒公司(Lake of the Woods Brewing Company)正式發起「Crowlers for a Cause」(飲啤做公益)活動,與基諾拉扶輪社攜手合作,旨在為一項具備改變意義的計畫籌措資金:在科尼島建設一座無障礙公園。
Coney Island is a beloved destination for local families and tourists, but it currently lacks infrastructure for those with limited mobility. This new campaign seeks to change that by creating a truly inclusive space. The planned park will be designed to accommodate everyone, including seniors, individuals using wheelchairs, and parents with strollers, ensuring that the beauty of the island is accessible to all.
科尼島是當地家庭與遊客喜愛的勝地,但目前仍缺乏供行動不便者使用的基礎設施。這項新活動旨在改變現狀,打造一個真正的包容性空間。計畫中的公園將為所有人設計,包括長者、輪椅使用者以及推著嬰兒車的家長,確保每個人都能平等地享受這座島嶼的美景。
The mechanics of the fundraiser are simple yet impactful: for every Crowler—a 32-ounce giant craft beer can—sold at the brewery’s retail shop, $4 will be donated directly to the Rotary Club’s park project. By purchasing a Crowler, patrons are doing more than just buying a drink; they are directly contributing to the development of a landmark that fosters community connection and inclusivity.
這項募款活動的機制簡單卻影響深遠:消費者凡在釀酒門市購買一罐 Crowler(32 盎司大型罐裝精釀啤酒),公司便會直接捐出 4 加元給扶輪社的公園計畫。透過購買這款大罐啤酒,顧客不僅是在選購飲品,更是直接為這座促進社區連結與包容性的地標建設貢獻一份力量。
核心名詞解釋 (Conceptual Note)
什麼是 “Crowlers for a Cause”? 這是一個結合產品與公益的雙關標題。「Crowler」是該釀酒公司的產品(32盎司大罐裝啤酒),而「For a Cause」在英文中意指「為了公益」或「為了正當理由」。合起來的意思就是「品味大罐啤酒,支持社會公益」。
