“For nearly 40 years our family has grown up with the support of Miller Beer brands, and in an effort to support the family that helped make us who we are, we have chosen to support their family during this tragic time. We will be donating 50 cents for every tap poured of Miller lite to the families effected by this tragedy. Starting today and through the entire weekend ending March first we will donate to the families, as we support those that supported ours. So this weekend when you stop and see our family, choose your next drink to be a Miller Lite and support their family at this difficult time.”

“Heartbreaking news today. 100% of the proceeds from the download of ‘Keep The Faith’ Is going to go the victims of the families from today’s shooting at Miller Brewery. It was a song I wrote sung by my friend Adam Palmer. I don’t even know what to say. It’s how we can do something to try to make a difference.”
