Partying for a Cause

Two weeks ago Sweetwater cafe donated their bar to Kevin, me, and over 70 of our friends and co-workers for an 80s party/PMC fundraiser.

The event was structured around a beruit (beer pong for some) tournament and we had 36 teams participate. As the theme was 80s movies, the ghostbusters, karate kid, crocodile dundee, and Ferris Bueller all made an appearance.

We had some great prizes donated from local organizations including Zipcar, the Red Sox, Vineyard Vines, Boston Sports Club, and Sam Adams. The victors (alas, I was eliminated in the second round and didn't do well in the losers bracket) won a 12-month supply of Sam Adams beer.

Everyone had a great time and the evening raised a grand total of $1,970 dollars. That puts both Kevin and me a quarter of the way towards our final goals of $4,200.

Thanks to all who came out and a special thanks to Pete (the emcee) and Colin who helped organize the event. Looking forward to more like it!
