Our Charities

About Salute Beer Festival

We Salute! the following local charities for the incredible work they do within our community. Please join us by showing your support or making a gift to them today by visiting them online or in person at the festival.

The Salute! brand has become synonymous with the rapidly expanding beer & food pairing trend and is noted as the first large scale event of its type in the California region. The continued partnership between Presenting Sponsors, Ojai Beverage Company and Executive Producer, Thirty-Three Productions, Inc. insures this event to continue its already established first-class quality as a premier food and beverage event, in a class of its own.

Ojai Valley Youth Foundation

Honored last year at the Ojai Valley Chamber of Commerce Gala Awards with the Heart of Ojai Award, the Ojai Valley Youth Foundation was established in 1997. The OVYF involves more than 1,000 youth in a wide-range of programs specifically geared for teens 12 to 18 years of age. Our mission is to connect youth and adults through mentoring and leadership programs, such as BLINC (Building Lives inc.), youth employment services (YES), Oak View Teen Center, daily after school projects, Taco Tuesdays and community service projects.

Annually, we sponsor community-wide events in the Ojai Valley such as the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Community Celebration and Tennis Marathon. And during the summer we have Ripples, a new cultural arts program for teens. We work closely with local civic groups, businesses, junior high and high school administrators to promote critical after-school activities based on the national 40 Developmental Assets model.
