A couple friends of mine with huge hearts for Puerto Rico are holding a silent auction extravaganza Monday night at Cobra Lounge to raise money to save an orphanage in Juncos, PR 🇵🇷
“The orphanage is running out of money and in danger of closing. They need cash to pay employees or they will close. They had to sell a generator just to stay open. The government owes them money, but all that has been delayed. Five employees lost their entire homes. They need money. They need serious construction. Part of their roof is gone and they have no electricity or water. The garbage hasn’t been picked up in over two weeks. We will be sending down a crew of people and supplies to help rebuild and repair La Casa de Todos in early December and your donations will help make this happen.”
There will be a silent auction (items listed below,) music, burlesque, drinks, karaoke and whipped cream pie throwing. Performances by Gin Rummy (Danielle Colby, Soda Gardocki & Zach Puppy Babbe), burlesque sensation Lilly Rascal, and Stella Cheeks. DJ sets from Jill Hopkins and DJ Glorified Jukebox. All proceeds will go to La Casa De Todos for supplies and rebuilding.
Auction includes items autographed by Ministry, Buzzcocks, Patti Smith, Flaming Lips, Melvins, Dinosaur JRr Fishbone, Andrew W.K., L7, High on Fire, The Faint, Buddy Guy, and Kris Bryant along with 2018 Riot Fest, Spring Awakening, North Coast, Mamby on the Beach, and Ruido Fest Artist passes; White Sox, Cubs, and Blackhawks Tickets, and more.
