2023 Beers of the Kaw

Proceeds from the silent auction will support Friends of the Kaw and the Kansas Riverkeeper.

Friends of the Kaw (FOK) serves the Kansas River, known locally as the Kaw. The Kaw is the largest prairie watershed in the world. The river originates at the junction of the Smoky Hill and Republican Rivers and runs more than 170 miles to meet the Missouri in northeast Kansas. The Kaw provides drinking water for 800,000 people. Additional uses are agricultural irrigation and industrial water supply (intake) including three coal-fired power plants. We are dedicated to protecting the river from pollution sources including: municipal and industrial wastewater discharges, new pollution sources and in river commercial sand and gravel mining.
