February Event - Public House with United Community Clinics

Whether you're in love, out of love, lookin' for love or believe love is merely a social construct forced upon us....we want to see you at our February Happy Hour!  While romance is not necessarily on the agenda, we will be spreading our collective love for our fellow Philadelphians by drinking to support United Community Clinics, committed to providing health care for anyone in need.  The nice people at Public House will be hosting this shindig and providing the standard free drink and light appetizers.  As usual, $10 is what you need to enter. 

Since Public House is a large space, we're hoping for a large turnout!  So, invite that special someone you secretly hope to run into at Starbucks every day, the cute guy or gal in the cubicle next to you, or simply a friend who needs a pick me up and an "I'll show my Ex I have a full social life" moment and come "Drink Up, Give Back" with us this coming Tuesday, February 7th from 5:30-8pm! 

Absolutely In Love With All Of You,
The (head over heels) SCP Team

P.S. - Save the Date for March 6th when we'll be venturing to Old City to uber hip night spot 879 Lounge (owned by Eagles Brent Celek and Todd Herremans) to support Tree House Books.  Word on the street is that there may even be an Eagle or two in the SCP crowd!

You gave back in January...now for some feedback!

First things first, thanks to everyone who came out on January 3rd to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society at Time.  We had a great time continuing to ring in 2012 with all of you and raised a healthy $320 while doing it!  We're also so much more refined now that we spent the evening listening to some jazz ;) 

Second, in an effort to improve ourselves (because that's what we all do at the start of a new year) we've put together a simple 10 question survey that we'd be oh-so tickled for you to take a peek at.  We promise it is quick and will provide us with tons of useful information to keep growing SCP and maximizing our drinking efforts.  We're staring down the barrel of our one year anniversary and want to ensure we are on track to do awesome things in the coming months. 

The survey lives here:  http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FX2DGM8

Finally, mark your calendars for Tuesday, February 7th when we "Drink Up, Give Back" to United Community Clinics at Public House!

January Event - Time with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Soceity

Save the Date for our Tuesday, January 3rd Happy Hour benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society at Time.  With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays we know your social calendars will be jam packed.  Consider jamming one more event in there to start 2012 off on a giving note!  You'll get bonus points toward that "do gooding" resolution (and we'll all turn a blind eye to that "going to the gym" resolution for one more day).  Plus, we'll collectively "oooo" and "ahhhh" over the new duds you'll surely be sporting courtesy of Santa, awesome holiday sales or those eight crazy nights of gifts. 

As usual $10 will get you a free drink courtesy of Time and some light fare courtesy of us here at SCP.  All proceeds will benefit the Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  Let's be honest, this will probably be the most purposeful drink you'll have had in weeks!  The hooplah will begin at 5:30pm and wrap up at 8pm.  OH, and did we mention there will be jazz to class this act up?  Because, yeah, there will be jazz. 


And if that's not enough, help us add on to our over $5K tally of funds raised thus far.  We want to set an excellent tone for 2012 and need your help to do so!

So Successful with Camp Sojourner!

Not only do we get to report that we raised $510 last night at Blue Bear Tavern with Camp Sojourner but we also exceeded our 2011 goal by raising over $5K for the year!!!!  We loved seeing so many new faces and spending the evening in such a fun new bar (and even learning a new camp song...haha).

In the spirit of the holidays we want to thank not only those who attended last night for their generous support but everyone who has been a part of events along the way.  It's been very fun and so rewarding to see this little idea of "Drink Up, Give Back" take root over the past 8 months! 

We'll be back soon with details about January's event scheduled for Tuesday, January 3rd (make us your first social engagement of 2012!)

December Event - Blue Bear Tavern with Camp Sojourner

During the holidays you'll certainly eat and drink way too much (which we endorse...really, we do!)  But will you give too much?  Come join us as we collectively finish off that 2011 Resolution List and get some major giving under our belts.

Help us spread some cheer and close out the year (bam! rhymes!) by attending December’s Socially Conscious Philadelphia (SCP) Happy Hour benefiting Camp Sojourner! 

The formula is simple; pay $10 and get one free drink and some delish appetizers courtesy of Blue Bear Tavern (we got a sneak peek of the menu...it's gonna be AH-mazing).  The full $10 goes directly to Camp Sojourner and helps support the many programs that help Philadelphia’s girls develop lifelong leadership skills.  A mere $10 allows them to buy supplies, support scholarships for summer camp and covering admission to local attractions. 

Need yet another reason to attend?  SCP is only $435 away from raising $5000 overall for local Philadelphia charities.  You can help us reach our 2011 goal by just showing up! 

So…grab yourself, grab a friend, grab $10 and join us as we “Drink Up, Give Back!”

A big THANKS to our Veterans and City Tap House...

Thanks to those who made the trek to University City for happy hour last night!  We are happy to report we were able to raise $305 for the Philadelphia Veterans Multi-Service & Education Center (PVMSEC)!  This will help them feed at least 90 Veterans in need (gotta love that number).  Thanks also to City Tap House for providing free drinks and some very tasty snacks (be sure to hit up the flat breads next time you're there).

Mark your calendars for the first Tuesday in December (6th) when we join in on the holiday festivities and raise our spirits (get it??) to Camp Sojourner.  We'll have more information on the location soon.
