Drinkin' For A Cause!

Hey, Memphis! So, we are finally getting around to building our Ways to GIVE BACK section, which will highlight everything from drinky social events where your money will go to great causes, to events where you'll actually get your hands dirty doing the work of giving back to people in need in this city.

For the moment, though, here are three really low impact things you can do both tomorrow night and Friday, all of which benefit great organizations and assets to our community. Show up at one of these!

Thursday, March 28 

Pop-Up Happy Hour for Friends for Life at Local on the Square (2126 Madison Avenue). Stop by Local at 5:30 and have a cocktail or three, while supporting and learning more about the important work of Friends for Life!

Party For The Park! 6:00 at the Shelby Farms Park (500 North Pine Lake Drive). $15 cover gets you food, drink, dessert from YoLo and a DJ, all going to help support the great local resource that is the Shelby Farms Park!

Friday, March 29

Lend a hand to start an anti-domestic violence fund at the Memphis Gay & Lesbian Community Center by showing up at Spectrum (616 Marshall) at 7:30 PM. Performances and important messages from community leaders and the Memphis Police Department for a mere $5 donation! More info here.

Start checking the "giving back" tab above on a regular basis for fun new ways to be a part of the solution to the many problems facing Memphis. Sometimes all it takes is a little forethought. For instance, if you were planning to do Happy Hour tomorrow night anyway, now you know that if you do it at Local on the Square, it'll help people! OMG ISN'T THAT EASY?
