The founders of HUGChs, a charitable organization started by two friends of mine, Melissa Carr @md_carr on Twitter and Brian Rogel @brianrogel on Twitter, will host the organization's first-ever fundraiser to benefit the Crisis Ministries. The event is the "HUG Party for a Purpose." Here's Mel promoting the event on Live 5 News with anchor Debi Chard:
The event is tonight, (Thursday) at Mad River Bar and Grill on Market Street in Charleston. It includes a slew of celebrity judges (Nikki V, producer of Live 5 News, Kelly G, host of 95sx Two Girls and A Guy, Brandy Weber, "Charleston's top Tweeter," and more...) Just 5 bucks gets you a free drink and part of your tips go to the charity, and you can have the satisfaction of knowing it was all for a good cause.
HUG stands for "Helping Underprivileged Grow," and the group plans to host more fundraising events to help various non-profits throughout the Lowcountry. Check back for pictures and my coverage of the event!
