2nd Ave Disaster Fund (@ Parkside)
Hello Friends!
Thanks for stopping by! For those of you who want to get involved in the effort to raise funds for families displaced by the 2nd Avenue explosion but are not available to attend the event, please consider making a donation via this page. Information regarding the event, taking place on Wednesday, April 5th at 7 PM at the Parkside Lounge at 317 East Houston Street in Manhattan's Lower East Side, mere blocks away from the tragic disaster.
By this point, I'm sure you've all heard about the tragic explosion on 2nd Aventue in NYC's East Village that displaced hundreds of people from their homes, injured dozens, and took two lives.
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 free drink ticket, drink specials, DJs and live music. All food, entertainment and prizes are being generously donated by local businesses.
ALL proceeds 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.
Thank you all for the outpouring of support and to all of the volunteers who have already reached out! Let's all get together and drink for a good cause!
