The fundraiser was a resounding success, with 2.5 barrels (approximately 100 gallons) of Citrus Kiss selling out in less than a week. This first-of-its-kind beer, inspired by the sunny essence of Kissimmee and Osceola County, featured vibrant citrus notes that resonated with the local community’s taste and spirit.
Jason Holic, CDME, Chief of Destination Stewardship for Experience Kissimmee, thanked the community’s enthusiasm and support. “Seeing Citrus Kiss come to fruition and witnessing the community’s enthusiasm has been incredibly rewarding. The craft beer industry has a history of unwavering community support, and we are thrilled to have partnered with Celebration Brewing to uplift the vital work of the Healthy Start Coalition for the growing families of Osceola County.”
The Healthy Start Coalition of Osceola County, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting maternal and child health, will use the funds to advance its mission of promoting healthy pregnancies and reducing infant mortality.
