Kegs 4 Kids - Save the Date - October 8th, 2011

If you haven't heard by now, Friends of Peirce are in the midst of planning for our annual fundraiser "Kegs for Kids" that is scheduled for Saturday, October 8th. 


This fundraising event features rare craft beers from around the country and around the world arranged for by Mike Roper & Louise Molnar of Hopleaf Bar & Restaurant.  We will have food from restaurants around the neighborhood and city as well as an appearance by Alpana Singh (from "Check Please!") who will pour wine at the event and has donated a generous silent auction item.  Thanks to our friend & Peirce parent, Tony Dreyfus, of Metropolis Coffee for getting Alpana! 


Kegs for Kids 2010 raised over $30,000 was a fabulous success.  Due to the overwhelming response to our event last year, we are moving locations into a bigger space at Loyola University. 

Friends of Peirce will need even more volunteers and even more silent auction items and we need your help!


More information to come about volunteering and submitting auction items.
