Much to the delight of big hearted beer geeks across Los Angeles, June 27th was Dionicess VI. A generous pairing event featuring beers from the Firestone Brewing Company and sausages and fries from Tony’s Darts Away, with all proceeds supporting the Real Medicine Foundation in Armenia.
Led by Gev Kazanchyan, writer, professor, beer
and wine philanthropist, and co-hosted by Firestone Walker representative and Certified Cicerone™ Jace Milstead and certified beer judge, food author and chef Randy Clemens, Dionicess VI was the most successful event in the Dionicess series to date.
Thanks to donated food from Tony’s Darts Away, 7 donated beers from Firestone Walker (including Parabola and Unfiltered 100% Barrel Aged, Double Barrel Ale on cask), a sold out event, and ongoing donations both at the event and after (Firestone beer was served until closing for continual donations), the event topped the charts raising close to $1600 for Real Medicine Foundation’s healthcare program in Shinuhayr.

Real Medicine Running Group:
Every Thursday, 6:30 pm
Nike Store*
9560 Wilshire Boulevard
Beverly Hills, CA 90212
(310) 275-9998
RMF host: Emmanuel Urbano, emmanuel@realmedicinefoundation.org
*note: the group meets in the alley behind the store–but, don’t worry, according to Emmanuel: “it’s an alley in Beverly Hills so it is a really nice alley.”
One thing that we have learned in our first year building a running team is the importance of community, the importance of sharing your journey from the moment you buy your first pair of running shoes to the moment when you cross the finish line of your first race. When you run, especially when you are first starting out, it takes people to help you along the way. Keeping this in mind, we have created weekly running groups with the first group running each Thursday evening in Beverly Hills.
Dear Friends in LA,
If you have ever wanted a chance to meet the Real Medicine team and learn more about the cause, June 27th provides the perfect opportunity to support our work and find out more about how you can get involved all over a few casual beers, sausages, and dart games.
Thanks to the success of our 2010 team, we have been invited back as an Official Charity of the LA Marathon 2011.

Yesterday was the FOXGives Philanthropy Fair, an event designed to introduce the FOX community of employees to a handful of local non-profit organizations in the hope of spurring community outreach on a larger scale. The event is truly one of a kind and incredibly effective mainly due to the incredible drive to give that seems inherent in the FOX employee.
Volunteers met last year at the fair are still helping with our larger ongoing events even now a year later and a few have even stepped up to take the lead on some projects. To name just a few, Emmanuel Urbano has been helping to develop our Athletes for Real Medicine program, coordinating runners from FOX to run on behalf of Real Medicine in the 2010 LA Marathon and 5K (join us in 2011!); and Heather Hamilton recently spearheaded our Big Sunday event, coordinating even more FOX employees to come paint walls, build shelves, and sort through toys and clothing for our LA outreach room at the Florence and Western clinic.
“It’s been incredible,” says Sarah Stern, RMF Director of Administrative Operations & Los Angeles Outreach Program Coordinator, “FOX as a corporation has consistently supported Real Medicine not only financially through matching gift programs, but through their tremendous volunteer support. Fox has given us some of the strongest and most amazing volunteers who have truly stepped up to help and who continue to do so.”
Gev Kazanchyan creator and orchestrator of the epic Dionicess pairing series, is back on June 27 with another “delicious act of charity,” pairing five beers from Firestone Walker Brewing Company with sausage and gourmet fries combos from Tony’s Darts Away.
