Alexandra Spirer of EuroCircles is guest bartending for a worth cause…
Friday, November 4
Guest bartending for a cure: Crohn’s & Colitis
A portion of the proceeds of the open bar will go to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation
Two party options: 2 hour open bar for $35
or 3 hour open bar for $45
A portion of the tips throughout the evening and proceeds from a raffle with great prizes will also be donated.
Alexandra is running a half marathon with Team Challenge in Las Vegas in the hopes of finding a cure for Crohn’s and Colitis. She is running on behalf of my two college roommates who suffer from Crohn’s for which there is not a cure.
Over 1.4 million Americans have Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, commonly referred to as Inflammatory Bowel Disease or IBD; however, many more suffer in silence due to potential embarrassment and alienation. Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis can occur in people of all ages, but it is primarily a disease of adolescents and young adults, affecting mainly those between 15 and 35.
