A unique and family-friendly event designed to honor and give thanks to military families is set to occur next month at Outfit Brewing of Dallas.

Danii Oliver and Eric Jackson form the team behind Beersgiving, a campaign whose mission is to diversity the craft beer industry by building connections and providing opportunities to military families - the most cross-culturally diverse and inclusive community in America.

Jackson is the founder of Uncap Everything, a Richmond, Virginia-based craft beer lifestyle brand, while Oliver is the owner and creative force behind Island to Island Brewery. Oliver's original brewery operated in Brooklyn, New York, but she's now residing in the Lone Star State and working to develop the North Texas Estate Brewery & Retreat in Tarrant County.

As for the event, it's billed as a "Family Afternoon Out" featuring chefs and entertainers from across the nation pairing beer, food and music with an afternoon of fun and games. During the festivities, kids will have access to an outdoor play area, and there will also be S.T.E.M. experiments allowing them to explore elements of brewing science.

Beersgiving: A Family Afternoon Out will run from 2-6 p.m. (to accommodate nap and feeding times) on Saturday, February 22. Click here to purchase tickets, available now on Eventbrite at a cost of $40pp (kids get in free, and canine friends are welcome to attend as well).
