4th ANNUAL GUYS NIGHT OUT – OCTOBER 1
The only game in town planned by guys, for guys, to help the homeless.
Guys, what could be better than watching WVU football on the big screen while drinking your favorite brew with your buddies? How about the knowledge that you’re helping homeless women and families while you do it!
Bring your pals and cheer on the Mountaineers during the WVU-Colorado game on October 1. Enjoy a pig roast, wings, beer, wine, cigars, games and raffles – all while spending a perfect autumn evening taking in the great view of Charleston from the McJunkin Red Man field on Hillcrest Drive.
Pre-game party begins at 6:00 pm, and kickoff is at 7:30 pm. Individual tickets ($100 each) are 75% tax-deductible and all proceeds benefit the YWCA Sojourner’s Shelter for Homeless Women and Families. Tickets are available online at www.ywcacharleston.org, by calling (304) 340-3553, at the YWCA on Quarrier Street, or at the event. Attendees must be 21 to drink, and C&H Taxi will provide free cab rides home.
Led by Paul Buechler and Jeff Sandridge, this all-volunteer committee hopes to raise $30,000 for YWCA Sojourner’s this year.
