Twin Cities Thursday Happy Hours is happy to announce that tickets are now on sale for the 2nd Annual TCTHH Charity Event benefiting the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota.
My personal connection to hosting and organizing this event as a third-party, is due to the time I spent in the NICU at Children’s when I was born and the spectacular care that I received. I was a preemie at Children’s in very bad health when I was born.
Last year this event, held at Solera, raised $7,000 for the NICU at Children’s. This year’s event is on Thursday, May 26th at Stella’s Fish Cafe in Uptown Minneapolis. This years event will bring together people for a networking event that helps to give back to our local community. There will be food provided by Stella’s for the event, a silent auction, you name the price Sam Adams beer ($1 minium, all Sam Adams proceeds are donated) and fun networking with other Twin Cities business professionals.
Tickets are $20 in advance and can be purchased at: http://tcthh.childrensmn.org. There are only 250 tickets available, so make sure to get yours soon. If there are still tickets remaining before the day of the event, we will sell tickets at the door for $25. If you are unable to attend the event, but would like to support Children’s, you can make a donation.
Please share this event with friends, family, colleagues or business partners that would like to help support this cause and have good time doing it. Thank you all for your support in helping make this event possible, I hope to see you all at the event on the 26th.

The next Twin Cities Thursday Happy Hours monthly event is Thursday, December 17th at The Corner Bar at 7 Corners in Minneapolis. The event will start at 5:30 and go as late as people want to stay.
Because it is December, we have teamed up with Finnegans to participate in their “Drink Like You Care” campaign, which means that when you buy Finnegans (Only $3.00!) the retailer and distributor will contribute to a special designated charity that is part of the Finnegans Community Fund.
If you have never heard of Finnegans before, check out their website to learn about their story.
If you want to meet other professionals, get to know some new people and celebrate some holiday cheer, join us for some drinks and networking on the 17th. The only cost to attend is to pay for your own drinks or food, also if you would like, you can make a donation to the Finnegans Community Fund. For those fortunate enough to have health, family and employment, there are many people in need that appreciate the generosity of those who are able to help.
Also, there will be a giveaway for the BEST holiday attire. Feel free to wear an Ugly Christmas Sweater, a wreath, lights, or whatever you think will take the prize.
Bill Murray from the Corner Bar is excited to have us and will be extending the happy hour specials for the group.
There is free parking right behind the bar, guests will need to sign in at the bar with their license plate number.
As always, I ask that you please RSVP so that I have an idea of how many to expect and we can let our host know. Also, feel free to invite a friend or colleague.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
I look forward to seeing all of you that will be able to come celebrate the holidays with friends, clients, and colleagues new and old.
