The Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby has partnered with the Kensington-based Philadelphia Brewing Co. (PBC)
to raise money for this year’s 8th annual derby on May 17th through a crowd sourcing campaign on the popular fundraising site, Indiegogo.com. The goal of the campaign is to raise $10,000 to support the growing costs of the event, which now attracts over 10,000 people to the Kensington/Fishtown neighborhood each May. Philadelphia Brewing Co. will match every donation to the campaign up to $5,000. Look here   http://kinetickensington.com/about for more information about the event and their fund raising needs.

In our own words – “We love this neighborhood and we love the Derby. Since 2001 we have invested in Kensington’s revitalization by bringing high quality manufacturing back to the ‘Workshop of the World.’ And since its start, we have supported the Derby, even entering one of our own kinetic sculptures alongside our neighbors,” says PBC owner, Nancy Barton. “We are hoping to incite others to support this unique community event through a pledge to match every gift dollar for dollar.”
