Marietta Tree Keepers is hosting the fundraiser from 5 to 7 p.m. tonight at Schoolhouse Beer and Brewing at 800 Whitlock Ave. (It's in the shopping center where Gabriel's and Chicken and the Egg are located).

A donation of $10 gets you a flight of beer samplings along with delicious snacks. Organizers will sell raffle tickets good for items such as dinner at The Butcher The Baker on the Marietta Square, classes at Be Yoga on the Square or "free pizza for a year" (one per month) from Marietta Pizza on the Square.

Marietta Tree Keepers is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to planting, preserving and protecting trees in and around the city.
