Brews For Boobies Pub Crawls


In support of our favorite gals, we are again looking to save some boobies. This week, it’s brews and pub crawls which are absolutely, no doubt about it, boobie friendly activities. This Saturday, October 2, Philly Beer Scene is hosting its 3rd Annual Pub Crawl for Breast Cancer, Brews for Boobies 3.

With a $25 donation to Brews for Boobies, supporters receive a tee shirt plus food and drink discounts at eight different bars over 12 hours. There are four different crawls in all but only the South Philly and Northern Liberties still have spaces available. Center City and Old City booked up fast!

The South Philly Pub Crawl begins at noon and will stop at Lucky 13 with $1 off drinks, 1601 with $3 drafts, POPE and Devil’s Den with $1 off drafts, The Dive getting in the spirit with free pizza and $2 liquor specials, 12 Steps Down with $3 women brewed craft beers, Tattooed Moms is giving $.50 off drinks for life and half priced drafts, Brauhaus Schmitz has $4 specials and Varga Bar will be rounding out the night with ½ price beer, cocktails and wine.

The NoLibs Pub Crawl will definitely be a surprise with many of the specials still TBD, but stops include Kraftwork, Johnny Brenda’s, Cantina Dos Segundos, Standard Tap, 700, Abbaye, North Bowl and finishing off at the Varga Bar after party.

All proceeds go towards the National Breast Cancer Foundation. For tickets, visit the Brews For Boobies 3 website.

Ride A Bull, Save A Boobie


Whether or not bull riding qualifies as a boobie friendly activity is still up for debate but supporting boobies by bull riding is one of the most original concepts I may have ever heard of. So out of sheer intrigue, lets just say yes, bull riding IS boobie friendly.

That said, on Thursday, September 30, in preparation for October’s Rock The Ribbon campaign presented by breastcancer.org, a 10th anniversary celebration of cancer awareness, Buckhead Saloon on North 3rd St. will be hosting the Bull Riding for Boobies charity event.

With the mention of Bull Riding for Boobies, at the door, guests will be given free entry as well as a wristband, treating them to discounted beer towers for just $8, instead of the usual $15 and a $2 discount for the mechanical bull at just $3 a ride.

Buckhead is also offering its usual Thursday night specials including $1 domestic drafts, $3 well drinks, $4 Miller Light pitchers and $3 Soco lime and kamikaze shots. So saddle up and come out to save the boobies.

First Annual Ribbon Ball Brings Awareness to the Lowes


For some, awareness is wearing a colored plastic bracelet as a constant reminder. For others it’s running a race or walking a marathon. Individuals and organizations coordinate fundraisers for a cure while those who can afford it donate to a cause.

On Saturday, September 25, from 9pm - 12am, Fight For Cure is throwing its first annual Ribbon Ball in the Howe Room on the 33rd Floor of the Lowes Philadelphia. Fight For Cure, one of the largest cancer oriented non-profits in the Philadelphia area, founded in 2009, works specifically to raise funds and awareness for cancer research, education and patient care for the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson Hospital.

This year’s fashionably formal event will include a night of dining and dancing as well as a live and silent auction. Guests are welcome to bid on items like an authentic Swiss Army Watch, a Philadelphia Eagles desk chair, a Philadelphia Phillies pre-game table and an authentic Michael Jordan Jersey, which was donated by Mitchell & Ness Nostalgia Company.

Mike Jerrick, host of FOX 29’s, “Good Day Philadelphia,” will be the MC for the evening, DJ Prince T, aka Seismic, will keep the dance floor full and Dr. Richard Pestell, head of The Kimmel Cancer Center, will be speaking as well. Fight For Cure also has a vintage photo booth and a menu of butlered hors d'oeuvres and serving stations in store for its guests.

Tickets for the ball are $75 each. All Ribbon Ball and Fight For Cure proceeds will be donated to the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson Hospital to continue the fight against one of the deadliest diseases.

For more information and to purchase tickets go to the Fight For Cure website.
