Toisan Social Meetup Group Fundraiser for Tenants of 85 Bowery St.

Toisan Social Meetup Group Fundraiser for Tenants of 85 Bowery St.

Thanks to Shirley Ng for sharing this announcement with us.

Gong hay fat choy!

The Toisan Social Meetup Group is pleased to announce that as of late Friday Jan. 19th, it was unanimous that Li Mai, Kim and I decided to make our Lunar New Year event a fundraiser for the individuals and families that were evicted at 85 Bowery St.

A friend reached out to Shirley and asking, “What can we do for these families?” It was a no brainer that with our Lunar New Year event already planned but not yet announced, it was quickly decided to switch this event to support the families in the Chinatown community. Shirley has already reached out to NY Assembly Woman, Yuh-Line Niou on how to distribute the funds.

Please join us on Friday, February 9th to support the tenants of 85 Bowery. Our community needs us. With Lunar New Year right around the corner, it wouldn’t feel right knowing we have a home to go to when others don’t. We can all lend a helping hand.

Come network, make new friends and support our local community at the same time.

Your $15 admission gives you 20% off all food and drink all night at 1 Pike Cafe & Bar. You will receive a hand stamp. There are NO REFUNDS and tickets are NOT TRANSFERABLE. Cash and credit is accepted for food and drinks. Paid entry only from 6-9pm.

Tickets are $10 and $15 while they last. Limited amount of online tickets available. Entry at the door will be $20. Cash and credit will be accepted. All online sales end February 6th.

Tickets will only be sold at the door till 8:30pm. If you do not have a hand stamp at anytime, you will pay regular price for food and drink

A big THANK YOU to Bill of 1 Pike Cafe & bar for quickly working with us to change this event to a fundraiser for the tenants at 85 Bowery.

Thank you. Do good, pay it forward. Happy Lunar New Year.
