Frankie Pub hasn't added a story.

It will be a few years
yet before Calvin Basran can pour his daughter Alexa a craft beer at
the Queensborough pub he owns. But thanks to the hard work and caring
of doctors and nurses at BC Children's Hospital, he's confident he'll
get that chance.
On June 14 he's going to give back to the hospital that put
Alexa on the road to recovery from leukemia by hosting Casks 4 A
Cause, a celebration of small craft breweries from around the
province, in the parking lot of his Frankie G's pub. All the money
raised from ticket sales, a barbecue, raffles and a silent auction
will go to Children's Hospital.
Alexa was two-and-a-half years old when she was diagnosed last
year. She seemed susceptible to bruises, so her mother took her to the
doctor. He ordered blood tests and when the results came back, Calvin
got a call every parent fears.
"Your heart sinks to your stomach," said Basran of
getting the news of his daughter's illness. "It's tough with
kids, it really hits you hard."
Basran's doctor advised they get Alexa to Children's Hospital as
quickly as possible. And a year-long journey of appointments, hospital
stays, tests and chemotherapy treatment began. At one point the entire
Basran family encamped in Alexa's hospital room for two weeks as she
endured a rigorous regime of chemo drugs.
But through the ordeal their spirits were buoyed by the empathy
and professionalism of the hospital's staff. With Alexa's condition
now stabilized and her treatment in "maintenance," Basran
decided it was time to give back.
A beer event will be hosted on Saturday, June 14th at
Frankie G’s Pub in New Westminster. Click to purchase
