And we’re back!! Brief #SOMAWESOME hiatus for no other reason than being super busy! That break is over and we’re resuming our weekly posts - there are just so many incredible people here that need to be shared with all of YOU.

This feature is four amazing individuals who exemplify what is means to be charitable: Farnaz and Adam Heydt and Bianca and Chris Froelich, SOMA residents with five children in our public schools. They recently formed the SOMA Brewing Company @somabrewingcompany, and donated ALL of the proceeds from their recent Oktoberfest event to The Vanessa Pollock
Music Initiative (VPMI) of the Achieve Foundation (@achievefoundation), supporting music programs in our public schools.

The event, held at the Woodland in Maplewood, and attended by hundreds of locals, raised $7,500 for this foundation! The Heydts and Froelichs could have easily put the earnings back into their business, but instead put it back into the community. How #SOMAWESOME is that?! CHEERS to Adam, Farnaz, Bianca, and Chris! You can find their delicious Two Towns ale at @thecassidybarkitchen and @stjamesgate and the incredible wooden taps are made by @maplewoodshop! You guys are #SOMAWESOME! 🍻
