The 2019 Charlottesville 29 Restaurant Auctions are an incredible gift from the Charlottesville food community to our area’s hungry, with every dollar of winning bids going to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. In a time when one in eleven people in our area struggles to put food on the table, the food bank takes each dollar donated and turns it into four meals for the hungry. But, what if you lack room in your budget to bid, and still want to support the cause?

Bodo’s is there when you need them.

Consistent with the “everyone is welcome” philosophy on which it was founded, Bodo’s has created something anyone can win, no matter the size of your bank account. In partnership with The Charlottesville 29 Restaurant Auctions, it’s the raffle to Win a Year of Bodo’s.

That’s right. Win the raffle and, for an entire year, you may visit the Bodo’s location of your choice once each day and order whatever you want (subject to a daily limit). The more you donate, the better your chance to win. Because every dollar in the raffle goes directly to the food bank, you cannot lose. Whether or not you win the prize, your entries will still help to feed our area’s hungry.

So, join Charlottesville’s favorite restaurant in fighting hunger. Enter to win here.

Here is your chance to experience Beer Run like you never have before, while helping to feed the area’s hungry: The Charlottesville 29 Restaurant Auctions. Along with all of the other restaurants in The Charlottesville 29, Beer Run has created a once-in-a-lifetime experience for whoever pledges the highest donation to The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.

The Beer Run signature experience for The Charlottesville 29 Restaurant Auctions:

Brew Your Own Charlottesville Beer

Now open for more than a decade, Beer Run has fueled Charlottesville’s love of good beer — both drinking it and brewing it. The winner of the Beer Run auction will have the chance to enjoy our area’s beer scene in a whole new way: create their own beer for a local brewery, a collaboration with Champion Brewing Company.

In advance of brewing day, the auction winner will discuss ideas with the Champion brewing team, who will help to design and name the beer based on input from the auction winner. When brewing day comes, the auction winner and nine guests will begin their day with breakfast and beer at Beer Run. From there, they will be off to Champion, where they will make the beer with Champion’s brewers. When the work is done, the group will return to Beer Run for a celebratory dinner and beer.

Finally, a few weeks later when the beer is ready, Beer Run will host a happy hour event, open to the public, celebrating Champion’s release of the auction winner’s collaboration. At the release event, the auction winner’s group may enjoy the beer they created, on the house.

Note: The winning bidder will schedule their experience at a time that is mutually convenient for Beer Run and Champion.

Bidding for Beer Run’s experience has ended. Winning bid: $4,000.
