We are organizing a Best of Milwaukee Beer Dinner as a benefit for SGT. Ed Matayka and his family.

Here is a brief description of Ed's story, but for the full story please visit these links and watch the videos.  SGT. Matayka's story is a reminder of the sacrifice and burden our men and women have accepted to protect our country.

As a result of an IED blast on July 2nd 2010 in Afghanistan, Ed sustained several life threatening injuries. The injuries that Ed sustained had never been survived before, his prognosis was grim at best. Beating the odds, Ed, survived beyond the 24 hrs that were predicted, has recovered from his coma, learned to speak, and is learning to walk, all things the doctors said he would never do.

In an amazing turn of events, Ed and his wife, also an Army Medic, recently found out they would be able to have children and are now expecting twins.

We are asking for $80 per ticket, ALL proceeds are being donated to a fund to support Sgt. Matayka and his family.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to take in his story and we look forward to seeing you at Wolf Peach on February 25th!

For any orders over 8 seats, please email us at john@thebeerfridge.com and we will make arrangements for you.
