Beer Breakfast 2024 – It’s a Wrap and Thank You!!

THANK YOU! Our most recent Beer Breakfast event in support of The Pineapple Projects was incredible with our highest attendance yet! Thanks to our ‘Friends of Beer Breakfast‘, sponsors, attendees, t-shirt sales, raffles, and auctions I’m SO PUMPED to report our gross donations were the second highest ever!

Proceeds from the event were delivered this week to Ashley and her amazing crew at TPP for $14,133! Hundreds came, the weather was perfect, I put my friends and kids to work and we had an absolute blast as we raised awareness and monetary support for The Pineapple Projects, our local 501(c)3 charity hand picked to receive the love from Beer Breakfast ’24!

We’ve now raised almost $150,000 for local 501(c)3 charities and can’t wait to shatter that mark next year at our next Beer Breakfast event! None of this happens without the support of amazing people like YOU! I remain humbled and grateful to all of my family and friends for seeing the value in this silly idea of mine that began with five people in 2002 in the alley behind Mastry’s (thanks Mom!).

We’re looking for Corporate sponsorships for next year with the hope of “matching” sponsors to come on board to really take our efforts to the next level. Please let me know if you can help!

As we brought hundreds of folks together to support The Pineapple Projects and celebrate our 24th Annual Beer Breakfast, we lifted our glasses in a setting of REVELRY-FELLOWSHIP-SANCTUARY and helped support a fantastic local charity who serves, inspires, and empowers young families to make a house their home!

Thanks everybody, I love you all so much!!
~ Jared, founding father

Beer Breakfast 2024 – Thank You! – David Cahalan at The Chattaway Tonight!

THANK YOU! …. to everyone who came out to Beer Breakfast 2024 two Saturday’s ago and for everyone who supported us this year! We had so much fun and the turnout was amazing! Donations keep coming in so we won’t have a proceeds total until later this week, but I know we did really well for The Pineapple Projects! I love my family and friends and I am so blessed in every way, which is why it it easy for me to give back to our local community by having Beer Breakfast events! THANK YOU!

I’m also super excited for my buddy, musician David Cahalan, as he embarks on our local scene once again to bring his amazing talents to St Pete! Dave will be playing TONIGHT (Tues., March 19th) at The Chattaway starting at 6pm. The Chattaway is an iconic piece of St Pete that Ms. Jill, Greg, and the crew have let us locals enjoy since 1951. Dave is one of my longest and dearest friends from Florida and after taking a 10 year sabbatical to the Oregon winery region where he soothed some souls at exclusive resorts and private gatherings, Dave is now back in good ol’ St Pete ready to share his talents at some local venues and private concerts! Email Dave at davidcahalan@gmail.com to line him up for your next gig!

Dave’s career has spanned five decades. From his humble roots as an Iowa farm boy getting the lead role in his high school musical, Hollywood acting stints (he was 3rd in line behind Henry Winkler to be The Fonz!), national commercial jingles, to being a backup vocalist in The Carpenters and touring the globe with them. The stories this dude has are insane!

We’ve raised over $130,000 for local 501(c)3 charities with the goal of getting to over $150,000 this year at the next Beer Breakfast event! None of this happens without the support of amazing people like YOU!

Beer Breakfast 2024 – On the News Tonight!

Say wh-wh-what? Fox 13 News and old kickball pal, Mark Wilson, will be featuring Beer Breakfast and our next event to support The Pineapple Projects tonight in the 6:30p to 7p time slot! What started out as a goof with me and four of my buddies (and my Mom!) having beer and donuts in the alley behind Mastry’s has turned into hundreds of folks gathering to make a difference in our community! I can’t wait to see everyone this Saturday morning at Mandarin Hide!

The Pineapple Projects is a local 501(c)3 started by Ashley Cornetet and came to be when she saw a post during Covid about a family who had lost their serving jobs and had sold all their home essentials to pay their bills. She knew she could help and reached out to friends and the community for help! Within 10 days their home was transformed. The Pineapple Projects Mission is to help those in need of home essentials. Transforming houses into homes for our Pinellas County neighbors who are starting over and need a helping hand. We spread love and joy by creating beautiful spaces that feel like home…. a home that provides a restful environment to support each family’s fresh new start. They are designing change, one family at a time!
