Disclosure: Bagger Dave's is providing the prize for this giveaway. All opinions are my own...

Bagger Dave's expands 50% off Craft Beer and Wine Social to Every Thursday Night - HOLLA!

Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern, the ultra-casual restaurant and bar, is now hosting its popular Craft Beer and Wine Social where craft draft beer and wine is 50 percent off from 2 p.m. until close including local Michigan-brewed seasonal selections.

“We began offering our Craft Beer and Wine Social events one Thursday a month,” said Michael Ansley, president and CEO of Bagger Dave’s. “But demand was so strong, that we decided to make every Thursday a social Thursday.”

Bagger Dave’s serves a selection of Michigan-brewed craft beers from the likes of notable Mitten State breweries like Griffin Claw, Bell’s, Shorts, Mountain Town, Mountain Town and Vander Mill. The wine menu includes selections from the West Coast of Michigan, as well as from California, New Zealand and Argentina.

To go along with your 50% off craft draft beers and wines, be sure to check out tasty appetizers like the Bagger Dave's Blue Buffalo Tavern Fries (piled high with pico de gallo, apple wood bacon, bleu cheese crumbles and signature Buffalo Garlic Sauce), or Bagger Dave's Famous Fresh-cut Potato Fries or Sweet Potato Chips.

This campaign builds upon an $8 million campaign that allowed for the expansion of the state organization and was completed this last year.

The CCO will work closely with the Executive Director, Director of Philanthropy and national ACLU staff to develop and launch this effort with a focus on building the annual gift portfolio and securing transformational gifts. The basic structure and ambitions for the campaign are established with the setting of “audacious” goals that are achievable by 2020, focusing on voting rights, reproductive rights, LGBT rights, education reform, over-incarceration, and immigration.

The CCO will spend a significant amount of time in direct interaction with donors, both in and out of the office, helping donors fulfill their passions and interests through their giving to the ACLU as well as a significant amount of time behind the scenes, assessing next steps for individual donor engagement, deploying other staff, including the Executive Director and Director of Philanthropy, as necessary for building the donor relationship with the ACLU. This position both leads and supports others in leading.
