Bill’s Filing Station’s annual
Bartenders, Boxers and Briefs took place recently and raised close to $10,000
for Tuesday’s Angels, a local non-profit that provides assistance to financially
needy individuals with HIV/AIDS.
A few hundred people showed to
attend the annual event where bartenders from local bars come out to model
clothing items and then auction them off to raise money.
Some of the bars that sent
bartenders include Rosie’s, Alibi, Ramrod, Monkey Business, Bill’s Filing
Station, Scandals, Sidelines Sports Bar, Rumors, and Boardwalk. Pride Factory
provided the apparel for the bartenders.
“The most important thing about this
event, is the camaraderie, which brings most of the bars in our community
together for one event,” said Vice President Tuesday’s Angels Chuck Nichols.
“It’s not often that an event occurs in Fort Lauderdale where you have so many
participating businesses. This is a win-win situation, everything all of the
money they collected goes to Tuesday’s Angels. Every dollar we get goes to our
clients, there is absolutely no overhead.”
