XL Bar & Restaurant will host the Maovember opening party for a third straight year! The party is November 1, 6 PM to 10 PM, and includes the 2018 Maovember pin launch, a darts challenge, drinks (happy hour until 9 PM) and food (half-price sausage deals). The delivery van funded for Bread of Life by last year’s campaign will be on site so supporters can see their donations in action.

Owner Jane Cui will donate 20 percent of revenue from the party to Maovember. You can find a map to XL here and check out the last two launch parties, here and here.

The annual Maovember project teams restaurants, bars, vendors and customers for good causes. This year’s campaign partners are Bread of Life Bakery and Library Project. Learn more about Maovember here and see the 2018 event list here.

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.
