Washington DC - Gulf Coast Benefit

Saturday, August 7, 2010

3:00 - 8:00pm in Adams Morgan

“WHERE WILL YOU WASH UP?”

Contact info:  dcgulfrelief@gmail.com

 
 

On July 1st in 18 cities across America, "Rock the Spill" events were held to support Gulf Restoration Network's mission.


Washington, DC was not among them.  But we are fixing that oversight now.


The BP oil leak is changing daily and continues to impact Gulf Coast communities and our environment profoundly.  These communities need our help and support to manage the clean-up efforts and overcome this disaster.


Join us as we support the Gulf Restoration Network, a 15 year old 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to protecting and restoring the natural resources of the Gulf Region for future generations.  All money raised will go directly to this organization.


How can you Help?

Come out to Adams Morgan between 3-8pm and visit one of the participating establishments to take advantage of specials offered.  A portion of the day’s proceeds will be donated by each establishment. Join the 3pm second line and march up 18th street to show your support.  Meet friends, listen to music, eat and drink and make merry wherever you like, all the while supporting the Gulf region.


Parking:  The Park at Adams Morgan - 1711 Florida Ave. NW
