5th Annual · October 16, 2026 · Holy City Brewery
Mad for a Cure
Thank you, Charleston, for following us down the rabbit hole for a cause that is very real.
2026 Recap
Down the Rabbit Hole
Year five went full Wonderland. Holy City Brewery - where CF Bites was born in 2021 - turned into a vintage tea party, and Charleston showed up in its most curious costumes.
Guests enjoyed live music, circus and aerial acts, a little magic, a costume contest, and a live online silent auction that let supporters bid from the gala floor or from home. Every dollar went to cystic fibrosis research.
