FRIDAY | DECEMBER 3 | 9:30PM-2AM
Presented by SACRED ROSE TATTOO | Space: Entire venue | Open to the Public

In August, as a result of a motorcycle accident, Spor Virus (AKA Todd Smith) lost his foot. The at-fault driver performed a hit-and-run and, when caught was found to have no insurance. So, we summon the good friends of SF to help this good man find a worthy prosthetic. That is why Sacred Rose Tattoo has put together this Benefit at 111 Minna to help raise support for Spor, so that he may in turn support himself–literally!

The event will include a silent auction of art, donated by the artists of Sacred Rose Tattoo along with some friends. We will also have the following live bands playing:  Sistas in the Pit | Cleve-Land | MILF | Ani DiFranco’s Dick

This event will also include an awesome raffle!  Prizes include a case of wine, Mark Mothersbaugh posters, and ten Gift Certificates for Sacred Rose Tattoo of $100 each!

We are asking for a minimum of $5 for donation at the door, which will get you two raffle tickets, so everyone is automatically entered into the raffle upon entry! Additional raffle tickets are $2/each.  Donations of over $20 will receive a free, old-school Sacred Rose Tattoo t-shirt (while supplies last).

Please come and show some love. If you can’t make it, please try and spread the word by letting people know about this very important Benefit!

FRIDAY | JULY 9th | 5-9pm

Why Remember Haiti?

The Haitian earthquake caused one of the largest human disasters in recent memory. Unfortunately, it has quickly fallen from the public consciousness as the news cycle moves on to ‘newer’ things.  Remember Haiti is about keeping the Haitian people in our hearts and minds and contributing to a rebuilding effort that will likely take years.  As the most pressing need shifts from relief to rebuilding, “Remember Haiti” seeks to raise $10,000, which will cover reconstruction costs for one classroom in a Port-au-Prince school.  Please join us on April 22nd and be a part of the rebuilding effort!100% of all monies raised through the event will be donated to Architecture for Humanity.

Architecture for Humanity (http://architectureforhumanity.org) is a non-profit, 501c3 organization leading rebuilding efforts in Haiti. By tapping a network of over 40,000 professionals willing to donate their time and expertise to help those who would not otherwise be able to afford their services, AFH brings design, construction, and development services to areas in critical need. AFH teams played a major role in the rebuilding efforts after the Asian Tsunami of 2004 and in New Orleans during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

The Huck* Cancer Ultimate Frisbee Tournament will be a combination all-day mixed hat tournament and fundraiser in support of the Lance Armstrong Foundation/LAF (Donate Here) on Saturday, March 6, 2010 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at Crocker Amazon fields in San Francisco. Evening party location TBA as the date gets closer.

We at Bay Area Disc Association consider the Huck Cancer Tournament our signature fundraising event of the year. Questions or comments? Please check out Frisbee Central first, then write us at info(at)huckcancer(dot)org if you need additional help.

The Huck Cancer Ultimate Frisbee Tournament was borne out of our community’s love for our friend, Eric Arons. Eric is in the early stages of treatment for a Grade 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme tumor. He was diagnosed in July of 2009 and it was, of course, shocking to all of us. How can a 40 year old man who bikes regularly, plays ultimate frisbee weekly – if not more – and has a full social and work life get cancer? And the only indications leading up to his diagnosis were memory loss and anxiety? Unbelievable. As word got out about Eric’s diagnosis, offers of help came pouring in; he received home cooked meals, brownies, hugs, even offers to go to radiation with him. When still others approached Eric about doing something “formal” in his honor, he unselfishly (and very characteristically) turned the spotlight away from him, and asked if it would be possible to set up some kind of fundraising event that would involve something fun. These simple ideas evolved rapidly into the tournament we present to you today.
