Cincy Brews for Brains 2025 Brings Community Together for Alzheimer’s & Dementia Support

COVINGTON, KY – September 26, 2025

A Decade of Connection, Celebration, and Community Impact

The Giving Voice Foundation (GVF) is proud to share the success of Cincy Brews for Brains 2025, hosted at Braxton Brewing’s Covington Taproom on Thursday, September 25. This lively evening of beer, bites, music, and community brought together supporters from across Greater Cincinnati, raising critical funds to support no-cost programs for older adults living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, along with their caregivers.

A Night to Remember

Guests gathered in Braxton’s beautiful second-floor space to experience a one-of-a-kind evening:

• Exclusive six-beer tasting led by a member of Braxton Brewing’s founding family

• Two full cans of freshly brewed beer to enjoy alongside heavy appetizers and Dojo Gelato for dessert

• Retro photo booth, caricature artist, and live DJ for a night full of connection and fun

• Elite raffle options including local experiences, branded brewery gear, and one-of-a-kind packages

• Rooftop views of the Cincinnati skyline with reserved space to continue the party after 9 p.m.

• Each guest took home a commemorative Braxton beer glass as a keepsake of the night

The energy of the evening wasn’t just about music and celebration—it was about creating space for joy while raising support for those impacted by dementia in our community.
