Now in their third year, CF Pub Crawl events take advantage of a simple fundraising principal - give people alcohol and they'll give you money. The first pub crawl of the 2004 season was held on March 6th at 10 local taverns in the Pioneer Square area. A $30 fee got you six small cups of yummy Red Hook beer, a coffee from Tully's, restaurant discounts and an event t-shirt. About 250 thirsty fundraisers netted about $6,500 for CF research. A bonus for the day was watching the UW Huskies men's basketball team beat the #1 ranked and formerly undefeated Stanford Cardinal.
Tori's Pub Crawlers is an elite drinking team dedicated to, well, drinking. Robert had been the sole member the past two events, but this time around the Pub Crawlers fielded an astounding 12 members! Thanks to Joy Fischer at the CF Foundation office for organizing the event and to everyone who crawled for a cure!
