Good Cause, Good Food, Good Place!
And they make awesome cocktails!
Benefits are nice, but...
...you can get more money to those affected by donating directly to local charities who are working in the community:
Bread and Roses Lawrence
Greater Lawrence Community Action Council
Lawrence Emergency Fund
Andover Community Trust
Lazarus House Lawrence
MSPCA-Angell
Greater Lawrence Relief Fund
Your money will go further than if you donate to (for example) the Red Cross.
Room for both strategies
I personally agree, but these benefits are a great way to get money out of people who might not give a straight up donation - and they also get people to give donations by raising awareness of the needs.
The family of on of the longtime employees of Trina's Starlight Lounge was wiped out - house destroyed, person with stage IV cancer forced into hospice. They are doing both benefits and a gofundme for this extremely impacted family.
