Dale Katechis – Can’d Aid Foundation (Oskar Blues)

Dale Katechis, a successful brewery owner, wanted to find a way to give back to his local community. When the front range region of Colorado experienced severe flooding in September of 2013, many people lost everything. Dale’s business and home are located in some of the hardest hit areas and when he saw the extent of the damage, Dale decided to help his devastated community rebuild. That September, Dale started a grassroots nonprofit effort, seeded it with over $100,000 of his own money, and began raising more through his customers and vendors to help the people impacted by the flood. Through donations and a matching grant from Dale’s brewery, the Oskar Blues CAN’d Aid Foundation has given individuals, families, small businesses and organizations close to one million dollars to help them get back on their feet.
