December’s fundraiser is for a cause that is incredibly important to our Tavern Restaurant Group family. Our General Manager’s children, Roman (age 3) & Stella (age 2) suffer from a rare and life-threatening genetic disease called ASMD, or more commonly known as Niemann Pick type A/B. ASMD affects the spleen, liver, lungs and in severe cases like theirs, the brain. Roman & Stella are both participating in a lifelong bi-weekly enzyme replacement therapy that will help repair damage to the body, but it unfortunately does not stop the brain disease progression of ASMD.

However, there is hope for them with a medication that exists, but still needs funding for clinical trials and FDA approval. Wylder Nation foundation is a nonprofit whose primary focus is finding a cure for the neurological effects of ASMD and fast tracking the approval of treatments that could help save the lives of Roman, Stella, and other children suffering with this disorder.

During December, $1 from every item sold on our Holiday menu and $1 from every Rhinegeist beer sold will be donated directly to Wylder Nation.
