January 27, 2020, Monday - Relief for Australia Benefit at Pog Mahone's
Time: 4 PM – 12 AM
Location: Pog Mahone's Minneapolis, 903 S Washington Ave
This past September, a series of deadly wildfires broke out in Australia that have killed millions of animals, displaced thousands of people, and destroyed millions of acres of land (not to mention turning the air itself toxic). Firefighters are overwhelmed in their attempt to control the blaze, but the fires continue to spread, destroying everything in their path.
We want to help in any way that we can, so the staff at Pog Mahone’s has pledged to donate every cent of tips made Monday night to organizations aiding in relief, as well as all proceeds from our silent auction. These organizations include:
CFS Foundation, which provides financial assistance to volunteer fire fighters and their families while in the line of service - https://cfsfoundation.org.au
Australian Red Cross, which provides temporary housing, medical assistance, transportation, and more to people affected by the fires - https://www.redcross.org.au
Adelaide Koala Rescue (AKR), which provides a free, volunteer-based rescue service, as well as rehabilitation for injured, orphaned, or displaced koalas - https://www.akr.org.au/
WIRES (NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue, and Education Service), Australia’s largest wildlife rescue organization, which helps care for and rehabilitate all animals affected by the fires, as well as educating the public on how they can help and/or how to care for these animals. https://www.wires.org.au/
Please join us to help make a positive impact during such a terrifying time.
And to our friends in the service industry, bring a clock out slip for 2-4-1s!
*The event goes until midnight, but if people want to give a little later, I'll keep the doors open until 2!
