Making a Difference

The Chico Brewfest started in 2011 to help support the many local charities of the Chico Noon Exchange Foundation. Thanks to generous sponsors, vendors, breweries, restaurants, volunteers, and beer enthusiasts, like you, we have raised over $311,000 from this event for Chico charities supporting Veterans and the Prevention of Child Abuse.

The Chico Noon Exchange Club and the Chico Noon Exchange Foundation have been raising funds for over 75 years to support local charities in our community with a focus on veterans, patriotism, and the prevention of child abuse in Butte County. The Chico Brewfest has now become the Chico Noon Exchange Foundation’s largest event, raising over $265,000 since its inception in 2011.

Over 30 non-profit organizations in Butte County have benefited from the Chico Brewfest proceeds.

Some of these organizations include:
