The first annual Suwanee Beer Fest Beer Chaser 5K was about more than just running for beer, it was also an event dedicated to raising money for a local cause. In April, Beer Chaser 5K event organizers presented a donation check raised from a portion of the event proceeds to Suwanee Kiwanis Club in support of HomeFirst Gwinnett in honor and memory of Adam Edge, who sadly passed away on March 25, 2020. Adam’s best friend, Matt Elder, started HomeFirst Gwinnett in response to the county having one of the largest homeless populations without any operating homeless facilities. The organization is dedicated to developing innovative and coordinated solutions to end homelessness in Gwinnett County by better connecting services for those who need them.
