A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
BDI Community Involvement
Beverage Distributors Inc. is always looking to help within our community. Realizing this is such a crazy, tough year, we have decided to focus on helping bring business back to downtown Cleveland. BDI & Miller Lite have teamed up with over 60 downtown restaurants to give away the ultimate prize pack. Visit any of links on 92.3 The Fan, 98.5 WNCX or Q104.com for more details. Most importantly, please support your local establishments- we are! Look for another great program to come in December to help other bars and restaurants outside of downtown as well.
