Thompson Island reschedules CHEF fundraiser to Dec. 8

Thompson Island Brewing Company is rescheduling its fundraiser for the Cape Henlopen Educational Foundation, as Cape football has advanced to the state championship game against top-seeded Salesianum at 7 p.m., Friday, Dec. 1 at the University of Delaware. 

The new date for the guest bartending fundraiser will be 5 to 7 p.m., Friday, Dec. 8, in the Thompson Island beer garden. A full 100% of the tips from bartending and 50% of all bar sales will go to CHEF, which provides grants and funding to help students and teachers excel in the classroom.

Attendees will see the district superintendent and assistant superintendent behind the bar, as well as principals and educators from Cape Henlopen High School; Mariner and Beacon middle schools; and Love Creek, Rehoboth, H.O. Brittingham and Lewes elementary schools. Teams will compete to see who can raise the most tips for the foundation.

Additionally, in recognition of the Cape football team advancing to the state championship, Thompson Island will host a viewing party for members of the community who are unable to make the drive to the University of Delaware. The game kicks off at 7 p.m., Dec. 1.
