Please note that the SUDS craft beer experience is still scheduled for noon on 10/28. More info https://sudsdecatur.org/

Charity Partner - Decatur Cooperative Ministries

Our mission at Decatur Cooperative Ministry is to help families facing homelessness settle into safe, stable homes and build healthy lives filled with peace, hope and opportunity.

We have a long history of working towards this goal.

Founded in 1969, Decatur Cooperative Ministry was originally a “seed-planting” organization: DCM identified gaps in local needs, started programs to address them, and then handed these programs off to local churches.

Please help support DCM by donating and/or creating a fundraising page (here) to share with your friends and family.

John M. Gallagher Memorial Run

The meaning behind the memorial run. Read below from Michael Gallagher Owner Brickstore Pub and SUDS co-organizer:

I am one of six children. My Mom and Dad were married at 19 years old. My father died on March 17, 2021. It doesn’t get any more Irish than this. 
When we were young, my father was our track coach. He was our coach at our Catholic grade school and then in the summers when we were in high school he became a coach again. He trained us for the Junior Olympics. I can vividly remember jogging with my father, warming up and preparing for the mile repeats in the hills around our neighborhood. I grew up outside of Philadelphia. Training in grey sweatsuits in the 80’s like Rocky.

My dad was my hero. Running is still my strong connection to my dad. I can’t go out for a run and not connect with him. It’s the best. 
We hope you connect with yourself and maybe even a loved one as you enjoy the 5K on October 28th.
