SWEET RELIEF

The next time you're downing a beer by SweetWater Brewing Co., remember there's a heart at the bottom of the bottle. On July 12, the brewery teams with the ClearWater Initiative to raise money to provide clean water to nearly 2,000 people in six conflict-affected villages in northern Uganda. Of course, SweetWater beer will be on tap. A band of refugee drummers from Burundi perform live, and documentary photographer Jake Herle displays a collection of work titled "Uganda." The silent auction touts rarities including Larry King-signed suspenders and movie memorabilia signed by actors Mike Myers and Steve Carrell. Other goodies such as restaurant gift certificates, salsa lessons and Braves tickets are up for grabs, too.

• THE 411: $30 online; $40 at the door. 8 p.m. July 12. SweetWater Brewery, 15 Ottley Drive, Atlanta. 404-691-2537, www.clearwaterinitiative.org/Events/Events.html.

IT'S ALL GREEK

Downtown Decatur restaurant Cafe Lily celebrates nine years in business with its Greek Birthday Bash. Diners choose items from the regular menu and a list of Greek specials. Expect dancing, flowing ouzo and flying plates. Chef and owner Anthony Pitillo says he'll raffle off bottles of wine and other prizes. The Greek Birthday Bash is part of a series of monthly events called Lily's Angel Project. These events raise awareness and funds for Hospice Atlanta Center, which cared for Pitillo's late father and Cafe Lily founder Angelo. Proceeds benefit the center.
