The fifth annual Maovember charity campaign launches tonight at bar / restaurant XL—map here—from 5 PM to midnight. Drop by to get your 2017 pin, try our darts challenge, and enjoy some food and drink. Ribs are half-price and happy hour goes until 9 PM. As an added bonus, XL’s Jane Cui will donate 20 percent of revenue from 5 PM to midnight to Maovember!

This is also the first day of the ‘mao-a-thon‘, a quest by steering committee member Mike Wester to walk 900 km in November to support this year’s Maovember partners Bread of Life and The Library Project.

If last year’s party was any indication, tonight should be a lot of fun.

Maovember focuses on quirky events for good causes. Our 2022 partner is Library Project, which has furnished thousands of reading rooms in rural schools. Learn more about Maovember here. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
