More than 20 Raleigh-area breweries participated in Saturday's brew-off, which raised around $5,000 for Wake County firefighters to pay for carcinogen-blocking hoods that guard against soot and smoke, WNCN-TV reports. This was the second year for the fundraiser sponsored by Love Is Bald, a North Carolina nonprofit that supports cancer-based groups.
