The Screaming Eagles are continuing with their drive to assist United for D.C. (United’s charitable arm) with their Nothing But Nets Challenge by running a special pub crawl on Saturday, April 18th.
Cost to participate is $10 (includes Buzzkill t-shirt to wear on the crawl). Obviously as this involves going to bars you must be 21+ years old to attend. Please sign up by sending an email to Kim and tell her what size shirt you need. We’ll take payment at Duffy’s and distribute the shirts there (we won’t have many extras on hand so we REALLY need to hear from you what size shirt you need). We’d like to raise at least $300 so gather your friends and neighbors (you don’t have to be an SE to come out drinking with us!)
The plan is to start out at Duffy’s (2106 Vermont Ave., NW, across Vermont from the 9:30 Club) starting at 4:00 pm. From there, we’ll move on to the downstairs bar at DC-9 (1940 9th St. NW, just below U St.) around 5:30 pm. Then it’s on to Polly’s (342 U St. NW) around 6:30 pm and lastly to Momo’s (1334 U St. NW) around 7:30 pm. Time are all approximate (as we don’t have to make a kick off we can be more leisurely on our crawl). We can either hang out at Momo’s or head over to Ben’s Chili Bowl (we’ll see what people want to do).
Duffy’s, the first stop, will be offering weekday happy hour specials to us, ‘cuz our NW DC regiment captain asked nicely.
The Nothing But Nets Challenge is a four-team contest featuring Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, and D.C. United. The Nothing But Nets initiative was founded by the United Nations foundation in an effort to fight Malaria in Africa, where 3,000 children die each day from the deadly disease. For just $10, a family of four can sleep under a medicated bednet for up to four years.
If you can’t make the crawl next Saturday, the Nothing But Nets Beauties will be at the SE tailgate with a collection cup at the game on Friday, April 17 OR you can click on the Nothing But Nets Challenge link and make a donation online.
