Shop and Eat to Benefit Haiti at Westport Village

The shops and restaurants of Westport Village (which I still contend is in the East End) are dedicating a night of food and shopping for Haiti. Each store and restaurant will be donating a portion of their proceeds from the evening of March 18 to Hope for Haiti. B and I very well may have [...]

Early Warning: Young Survivors Benefit February 26, 2010

I know and am terribly fond of two kick ass women who fit into the category of “young breast cancer survivors in Louisville.” So I hope like crazy that you either attend the Young Survivors Silent Auction and Benefit on February 26, 2010 or you make a donation online to the Norton Breast Health Program [...]

Domestic Violence Benefit at Prime Lounge Friday January 15, 2010

This doesn’t need any editorializing from me.
The beginning of 2010 was marked with the brutal death of Kelly Doyle – a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend… a victim of domestic violence. Please join friends and fellow supporters to raise awareness and funding for the Center for Women and Families and for Kelly’s [...]

Eat Free at Zen Garden Thanksgiving Eve

Once again Zen Garden is offering you a heck of a deal to kick your Thanksgiving holiday off: absolutely delicious free vegetarian food. The catch of course is that Zen Garden is asking you to “pay what you can” as donations instead of charging menu prices.
If, like me, you’re on a spending moratorium and [...]

Have Qdoba for Lunch, Do Some Good and Maybe Win an Ipod

Alright East Enders this one is just for you. On Friday the recently remodeled Qdoba at the Summit is having a party to celebrate their reopening. All day on Friday November 13 they’ll be giving away free entrees to random loyalty card members and giving away some prizes. The real kicker though is that they’ll [...]

Soles4Souls at Street Moda

Street Moda is participating in a very cool charity project.
Every 9 seconds, Soles4Souls, Inc. gives away another pair of shoes to someone in need.  The shoe charity has earned glowing endorsements from Hollywood stars and professional athletes, but the people that truly make the non-profit organization effective are those who clean out their closets [...]
