If you're trying to find comfort or a glimmer of hope after seeing the tragedy that took place at the Boston Marathon last week, you can look to businesses like NoDa Brewing that pull the community together to offer their support. On the evening of Wednesday, April 24, NoDa Brewing Company, located at 2229 N. Davidson St., will host Beers for Boston to benefit the Be Strong Stay Strong Fund, which was set up to benefit two local runners who were seriously injured by the bomb explosions in Boston.

The event will kick off with the weekly Wednesday run by the NoDa Brewing Run Club, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Putney's End will provide live music, and food will be available from Auto Burger and Fry Guys and King of Pops. "People really like to eat a cheeseburger after they run," says Brian Mister, director of community optimism at NoDa Brewing.

You can support the Be Strong Stay Strong Fund by just showing up for the event and purchasing food and beverages. The following donations will be contributed from the attending vendors:
- 10% of all sales from NoDa Brewing
- 10% of all sales + all tips from Auto Burger and Fry Guys
- 50 cents from each popsicle sold from King of Pops

The fund will also accept cash donations at the event.

The event will be held in the NoDa Brewing parking lot and the band will be on the patio, weather permitting. More than 100 people RSVP'd through the Facebook event page on the first day that the event was announced, so Mister expects to have a huge turnout to support the cause.
