Suds for Scholars 2026

What could be better than spending a couple hours tasting several local craft brewed spirits, and some wines? Giving back while you are doing it of course!

On April 23rd, the Lakeville Chamber Foundation is hosting our 9th annual Suds for Scholars fundraising event. The event, hosted at the Holiday Inn & Suites Lakeville, includes sampling from each brewer, while they tell you about their favorite creations. Bring a friend, a date, or your colleagues for an evening of beer and wine tasting, hot and hearty appetizers, and prize drawings. The generosity of our brewers – who donate their time and all their spirits – as well as several local sponsors, make it possible for 100% of single ticket sales to go directly into the Foundation’s scholarship fund.

2026 brewers TBA in early 2026.

The Lakeville Chamber Foundation, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, focuses on workforce development through scholarships and grants. The Foundation is led by a member volunteer and is the nonprofit arm of the Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce, serving the Lakeville Area and Schools.
