The bar that we teamed up with for our South of 80 event during Chicago Craft Beer Week in May, The Green Lady, is hosting a fundraiser tonight to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
“Suds For Sandy Relief” starts at 8pm.
Half of the money raised will go to employees of The Ginger Man, a Manhattan bar that lost power for ten days but remained open – operating by candlelight. Employees there lost at least a week’s pay. The other half of the proceeds will go to The Bowery Mission, which helps the homeless in New York City.
The Green Lady owner, Melani Domingues, worked as director of operations at The Ginger Man prior to moving to Chicago and opening TGL. “Having spent 13 of the last 15 years in NY we would like to give to the people and the city that have given us so much,” said Domingues on the fundraiser’s Facebook event page.
Tonight’s fundraiser will include a silent auction, vintage beers and a special draft list, all of which you can find at The Green Lady’s Facebook page (should be up this afternoon).
Come to a great bar, drink some great beer and support a great cause.
The Green Lady is located at 3328 N. Lincoln Avenue, just steps from the Paulina Brown Line stop.
