The event, which is being done “silent auction” style, will be taking place between 6:00 to 9:00 PM down in the basement part of Gym Sportsbar. There will be fantastic happy hour specials throughout the evening, with some of the tastiest pizza pies donated by one of our favorite restaurants in Manhattan- Adoro Lei!

A generous portion of the proceeds will go to benefit a cause that is near and dear to my heart, Gay Men’s Health Crisis. Given everything that has gone on in recent months, now is a great time to help causes like this out that benefit the gay community through and through, and we are excited to partner with them and raise some great money! More info on them here.
