Named a BCA 10: Best Business Partnering with the Arts in America
October 7, 2016 (Milton, DE.) – On October 5, 2016, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery accepted the 2016 Business Committee for the Arts (BCA) 10 award honoring their exceptional commitment and dedication to the arts through grants, local partnerships, volunteer programs, matching gifts, sponsorships, and board membership. Mark Carter, ambassador of Beer & Benevolence, the philanthropic branch of Dogfish Head, accepted the national award at the celebratory event held at The Central Park Boathouse in New York City.
Each year, Americans for the Arts, through its BCA program, recognizes 10 businesses of all sizes for their exceptional contribution and involvement with the arts that enriches the workplace, education and the community. These companies set the standard for excellence and serve as role models and ambassadors for others to follow. "We are grateful to honor these businesses for their exceptional involvement in ensuring that the arts thrive in their communities," said Robert L. Lynch, president and CEO of Americans for the Arts. "These businesses provide the arts with significant financial and in-kind support, and they incorporate meaningful arts-related programs into their employee, customer, and community relations activities. They enrich the lives of millions of Americans and truly set a standard for other businesses to follow."
Dogfish Head benevolently collaborates with nonprofit organizations to foster community, nourish artistic advancement and cultivate environmental stewardship. “Art is an essential component to good living," says Dogfish Head founder and president Sam Calagione. “And we’re proud to support the people who are making our corner of the planet a better place to live and work.”
