StrEATfest 2011
Join us on May 14th for a day of celebrating in the sunshine.
When: Saturday, May 14th, 2011
Time: 12pm ’til late
Where: Stone St (near Wall St – closest subway: 2, 3 to Wall St, 4, 5 to Bowling Green or R, W to Whitehall)
Once again, the pubs and restaurants on Stone Street are joining together to throw a street-wide party to raise funds for Self Help Africa’s work overseas.
20% of all takings from the day will go to Self Help Africa, which means that all day long, from 12pm til late, every item consumed equals a contribution towards digging wells for poor rural communities in rural Africa.
Last year, enough was raised to allow Self Help Africa to dig two wells for poor rural communities in Togo, and to bring a water supply to 6,000 people there. The establishments behind the StrEATfest are Adrienne’s Pizzabar, Beckett’s, Burger Burger, Biergarten, The Dubliner, Mad Dog and Beans, Pizza Pizza, Smorgas Chef, Stone Street Tavern, Ulysses, Vintry and the Waterstone Grill.
The proceeds from the day will go to the provision of wells for rural communities in Burkina Faso, Africa. Wells provide more than water – they allow a community to grow food, sell their produce, and trade their way out of poverty.
