👏Meet the man behind Kenai River Brewing Company’s community spirit. From teacher to brewery co-founder, Doug Hogue has helped turn KRB into a powerhouse for giving back by supporting local trails, arts, cancer recovery programs, and even bringing the Backyard Ultra race to Alaska.
✨This year, Doug and the KRB team went above and beyond by hosting the first-ever “Beer for My Boys” Prostate Screening Event with AIOF and partners. They brewed a special beer, opened their doors for onsite screenings, and helped 88 men get checked for prostate cancer in just two hours.
Doug’s belief is simple: “Give back to the community, and they’ll continue to give to you.”

💜November marks a time when we pause to recognize the unseen heroes who walk beside individuals throughout cancer treatment. Behind every person navigating this journey is a network of support that often goes unrecognized.
Shirlie M., LMSW, Oncology Social Worker and part of our Integrated Care Team, shares an important perspective: "When you think about a survivor’s care team you think oncologists, nurses, social workers, palliative care provider, and many other medical professionals who help navigate a cancer diagnosis but there is one care team member that is often not acknowledged and that is Caregivers. Our family members, friends, and loved ones that stand beside survivors every day through their cancer diagnosis and into survivorship. As a social worker I see firsthand the impact caregivers make for their loved ones – from navigating our complex medical system, accompanying to appointments, helping with medications, filling out paperwork, and so much more. Caregivers are an extraordinary and instrumental member the care team, and we can’t thank them enough for all they do standing beside their loved ones." - Shirlie M.
