Here is the message going out to establishments that wish to participate:
"At 9:00 pm EST on Sunday, September 30, beer drinkers across the continent will raise a glass to the memory of the man who did more than anyone to further the cause of good beer, the one and only Beer Hunter, Michael Jackson. And your establishment can play a part!
"Participation is simple. Just download a copy of the official poster and print out as many as you want, adding in the details of your particular event. It could be a single toast, an all-night celebration or a more organized remembrance. Then decide how you'd like to contribute to the National Parkinson Foundation, whether “passing the hat” for donations, contributing all or a portion of the night’s revenue or selling a single keg for the charity.
"When your donation is ready, send your check to the National Parkinson Foundation or to the National Parkinson Foundation Attn: Kay Houghton.
"As long as they say "Tribute to Michael Jackson" in the memo line, they will all be attributed to this event. The address is 1501 N.W. 9th Avenue / Bob Hope Road, Miami, Florida 33136-1494. Canadian participants are advised that the NPF also operates 5 Centers of Excellence in Canada and does issue tax receipts for all contributions, including those from Canada.
"A ceremonial contribution on behalf of all the participating bars, restaurants and brewpubs will be made at the Great American Beer Festival on Saturday, October 13. See www.beertown.com for GABF information and tickets."
If you are a consumer, let your local know about this event and to stock some extra large hats for Sept. 30.

I am attending the national toast at my local Flying Saucer in down town Fort Worth Texas, which is the very place I had the honor of meeting Michael Jackson about 9 years ago during one of his beer tours around the world. It was one the greatest moments in my life. Michael will be sorely missed.
We at Russian River Brewery in Santa Rosa, CA, will raise our glasses with IPA, blonde, stout barrel-aged, funky, sour, and belgian-style ales at 6pm tonight in honor of Mr. Jackson. He was the single biggest advocate for American craft beer and exceptional brews around the world, as well as the world's greatest expert on whisky! Vinnie and I are honored to have known him and will miss him greatly.
