Reminders: Fundraiser for 2nd Avenue tonight at the Parkside Lounge



Tonight at the Parkside Lounge (East Houston at Attorney) ... Details via the EVG inbox...

Please join us as we come together as a community to raise money for all those affected. $5 at the door gets you awesome food from neighborhood establishments, a drink ticket, drink specials, DJs and live music. Try your luck in the raffle and win big in the silent auction! All food, entertainment and prizes are being generously donated by local businesses.

ALL proceeds from the door, raffle and auction will be donated directly to LES Ready!, a wonderful group that focuses on both preparedness training and recovery in the event of a disaster, and works specifically with residents of the Lower East Side and the East Village. LES Ready! has generously agreed to earmark the funds contributed from this event specifically for those displaced by the explosion and fire. It will be used to help families and residents pay for security deposits and rent in their new homes, as well as related expenses.

Visit the Facebook event page for more details on the area businesses who donated items for the evening.

    Finally, some hopeful news for a change. This is awesome for those who are in need, certainly not for those stupid, young girls who are suing the city for 40 million. This is a great cause and I will be present to support it.
