Live Like Roo Ice Cream Social Fundraiser – Rochester Brewing and Roasting Company

Live Like Roo Ice Cream Social Fundraising Event Saturday June 3 at Rochester Brewing and Roasting in Parkville Missouri

Parkville location is hosting a Live Like Roo Ice Cream Social fundraising event Saturday, June 3, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Grab a beer for yourself and a sweet treat for your pup while helping pets with cancer at the Live Like Roo Ice Cream Social!

During the event, we will be accepting donations to benefit the Live Like Roo Foundation, a nonprofit that helps fund care, treatment, surgeries and support for pet parents whose fur babies have been diagnosed with terminal illnesses. Since 2016, the Live Like Roo Foundation has provided $1.7 million in grants to help pets and their parents. They are still going strong with the help of donations and the hard work of volunteers. Every year, locations across the world host Live Like Roo Ice Cream Social fundraising events on the same day.

The inspiration behind Live Like Roo’s whole operation was a rescue pup by the name of Roosevelt who, towards the end of his fight with bone cancer, would always look forward to enjoying ice cream with his parent Sarah Lauch. Sarah founded Live Like Roo in his memory. We are inspired to live each day filled with the joy Roosevelt brought all of those around him.

“Though Roosevelt had only a few months to live, we hope that he inspires everyone to #LiveLikeRoo now and forever.” Sarah Lauch

I always love when coffee shops have space, and Rochester has a MASSIVE sitting area, especially for downtown KC! Tons of room to spread out if you're working solo or relaxing with a group. They also roast their beans right in front … More of you, so you get to watch the process and talk to the employees while it happens.
Really good coffee and tea menu, so anyone can find something they like. I had the espresso tonic, which was super refreshing. Unique seasonal drink offerings too!
I'll definitely be back to try some of their beer and cocktail selections!

Excellent coffee, tea and croissants! Both my partner and I loved the iced americano and blood orange tea had nice flavors. I don’t drink alcohol, so it’s too bad I can’t review their beers, but the menu seemed interesting. Their customer … More service was great and the atmosphere is cozy and clean.
The outside parking was pretty easy.

Great open space and super friendly space. We loved their coffee options and would like to try their food the next time we go. It's also a great space to play trivia, and their other activities look like a lot of fun.

My (now) husband and I have always loved this coffee shop. Their beer and coffee are unmatched. We recently had our wedding reception at this location, and honestly have nothing but amazing reviews. They are responsive, incredibly helpful, … More and affordable. Not to mention, this location has an incredible amount of character. A month later, we are still hearing rave reviews about the location. Thanks to Rochester for not only being our favorite place for a brew, but also hosting one of the biggest days of our lives seamlessly. This place rocks.
