May's Happy Hour will be Tuesday, May 1st from 5:30-8pm at Elephant and Castle (1800 Market). You'll want to run, not walk, to this one as our boozin' will benefit Back on My Feet
(BoMF), which helps the homeless in Philadelphia through running
programs. So, all you avid runners, take a break with a beverage and
for all you non-runners...enjoy creating your own "runner's high" (via
the drinks or the feeling you get from doing some good), as we all
"Drink Up, Give Back"!
Per usual, Elephant and Castle will be offering one free drink and
some free appetizers to SCPers (and BoMFers) who donate $10 at the
door. Remember that 100% of proceeds go to BoMF!
Additionally,
BoMF will be selling their first ever race day shirts at the event. If
you are running Broad Street, consider making a purchase. We'll also
have a pair of Phillies tickets to raffle off for their Tuesday, June
5th game vs. the LA Dodgers.

One Year Later...
Just over a year ago, over some beers (surprise!), Socially Conscious Philadelphia was created. April marks the one year anniversary of our first official event and we are so very excited! In that one year we've met amazing people, worked with phenomenal local businesses and had a small hand helping to fulfill the missions of a dozen locally-based charities. We've loved being a part of this effort and look forward to many more years where we can "Drink Up, Give Back" together!
Here's a list of the businesses and charities that have made our inaugural year a success!

April Event - Misconduct Tavern with Urban Tree Connection
We've been looking forward to April's Happy Hour for a few months now (yes, that's how bad some of us need a drink!) But beyond the promise of alcohol one of our favorite things about April is that it is our One Year Anniversary! In a year that saw the demise of one Kardashian marriage it's nice to know that some things really do last. Unlike Kim and Kris we promise to make the most of your gifts. Feel free to shower us with as much "paper" as you want (that is the traditional one year gift) or merely the $10 we suggest at the door.
The fine folks at Misconduct Tavern will be hosting us once again (they were kind enough to be our first venue ever) and you can be sure the food at this one will be extra yummy. Of course, you'll also get one free drink. All of this eating and drinking will benefit Urban Tree Connection, who is committed to providing community-based greening efforts in some of Philadelphia's disadvantaged neighborhoods (uber appropriate as we head into Spring and Summer!)
Be sure to invite your friends because we want our one year anniversary party to rival the best of them!
Consider this your "Save the Date" and RSVP by showing up!
When: Tuesday, April 3rd, 5:30-8pm.
Where: Misconduct Tavern (1511 Locust)
Who: This one benefits Urban Tree Connection
How Much: $10
Why: Because you love trees, SCP, free food, free drinks and/or one year anniversaries

We were "write" on with Tree House Books!
We are very excited to report we raised $700 for Tree House Books
at Tuesday's Happy Hour! We we're hoping this would be a big one as we
barrel into our one year anniversary and you did not disappoint.
Whether you were simply priming your liver for St. Patty's Day
festivities (or maybe a spin on the Erin Express) OR have a love for Tree House Books, you contributed to a fantastic tally. Of course, we also need to thank the awesome folks at 879 Lounge,
and wish a belated Happy Birthday to bartender Bridget, for the support
as well. Finally, thanks to one of our SCP members who stepped up as a
host for March, Alyssa D'Alconzo! It was awesome to meet so many new
friends and we look forward to seeing many of you at future events!
Speaking of future events...April is squarely on our radars. Because, if you haven't gotten tired of us saying it yet...it's our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! And while we'd love to be all humble and say "no gifts please", we realize very serendipitously that paper is the traditional one year gift. And unless you are someone who has a love of coin collecting, we're guessing you'll be using some "paper" to pay your way into the next event. So...please...shower us with gifts and join us on April 3rd as we "Drink Up, Give Back!" More details to follow.

March Event - 879 Lounge with Tree House Books
St. Patty's Day isn't the only reason to get out your green this March! You won't want to miss our March Happy Hour at 879 Lounge (owned by two Philadelphia Eagles). That's right, put on your Eagles green and get ready to spend a lil' green as we "Drink Up, Give Back" for Tree House Books (heck, even trees are green!)
The awesome folks at 879 Lounge are providing some solid hot appetizers as well as one free drink. All it will cost you is $10...all if which will go to Tree House Books as they help to instill a love of reading in children in our area. So, don't just read about this one...join us! See you on Tuesday, March 6th from 5:30-8pm.
We are $295 away from raising $6000 this year. We'd love to meet that goal as we head into our one year anniversary this April!

Showing some love for United Community Clinics
A heart-filled thanks goes out to all the folks who made it to our February Happy Hour! Our drinking efforts resulted in $310 raised for United Community Clinics.
The clinic is run entirely on volunteer efforts, so this money will do a
lot to enhance the budget of this program! Thanks also to Public House
for giving us the space (and the drinks...and the food) for the
evening. In total, SCP has now raised $5705. While we sure love to
drink, we're certain we couldn't have done this on our own (and remained
functioning members of society)! For that you are all honorary SCP Valentines...swoon.
The next two months will be big ones for SCP so get out those calendars!
On March 6th, we'll be at 879 Lounge (Old City) and will have a Philadelphia Eagle or two in the house! Our imbibing will support Tree House Books (even if you yourself can't read much by the end of the night).
April 3rd will be our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY (say what?!) and we're hoping to make it a big shebang (No, Ricky Martin won't be there)! But, we'll see you there to celebrate what has certainly been an awesome year.

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!
