This event has become a celebrated kick-off to summer in Lodi, and undoubtedly the most important fundraising event for Lodi Tokay Rotary.  We are proud of the work we do for the local community and beyond.  This festival's proceeds are used entirely for community projects big and small.  Past proceeds from the Lodi Craft Beer Festival have helped in the preservation and enhancement of Lodi Lake, e.g. planting trees and installing a shade structure, barbecues, picnic tables and benches.  Lodi Tokay Rotary has also been instrumental in rebuilding locker rooms at the Lodi Grape Bowl stadium; assembled and delivered hundreds of bikes for Lodi Adopt-A-Child; provided over 100 books to the Lawrence Elementary Library; planted several trees at Lodi's DeBenedetti Park; serve at a medical clinic in Mexico with Flying Samaritans; assist with building a security fence at a medical center in Mexico; and paint a school in Mexico.  We have also given proceeds to local charities for their projects.
