Back in early March we learned that a new “philanthropub” was coming to 1926 9th St, NW in the old La Carbonara space. At the time there was some confusion as to how exactly a “philanthropub” works. Here’s a couple of videos further explaining the vision behind Cause the Philanthropub.

“This year, Poste and Chef Dennis Marron are celebrating Earth Day with a brand new courtyard event – ‘Oysterstock.’ The all-day celebration will feature Rappahannock and War Shore oysters, a collaborative lamb and clams dish with Rappahannock Oysters and Border Springs Lamb, and picnic fare from the Poste kitchen including house-made grilled sausages, coleslaw, and mac’ and cheese. Local beers from DC Brau and Port City Brewery will be served, alongside local Virginia wines from Breaux Vineyards and Catoctin Creek Distillery. Live entertainment from three local bands will also be provided. The cost of the all-inclusive event is $75, with proceeds going to the Oyster Recovery Partnership. Tickets can be purchased here.”

As many of you may know, about 7 years ago I started Aid El Salvador (AES), a non-profit that focuses on education in El Salvador. Well, thanks in a large part to your support in making last year’s event a success, we will be throwing another fundraising event on March 29th to raise funds for AES to send over 100 kids to school this year! The price of schooling varies by grade and community, but on average, the cost of sending one child to receive one year of schooling is: primary $50, high school $350 and university $1,200. Once again, Haydees (a Salvadoran/Mexican restaurant in Mt. Pleasant) has generously agreed to donate 30% of all SALES to our cause! So please come out: enjoy some live music, food, drinks, raffle/silent auction, and company!

Dear PoPville,
I am a friend of Shawn Streiff, the person who was involved in the bicycle accident at 11th and U St, NW Tuesday. I wanted to provide you with an update on his situation and provide a link to the donation fund we have started for him.
Shawn is current in the ICU with a number of bad injuries — but luckily he is alive. He is still in a lot of pain though and has a long road ahead, so many of his friends have stepped up to try and help him out.
Shawn was a member of the Delta Chi fraternity when he was at American University, where he served as chapter president and also alumni adviser after graduation. He really believed in the brotherhood of the organization so we are trying to show him what it can do when he really needs it. We’ve started a donation fund for Shawn so his friends and family can help him out. We’ve been donating inside our groups but are also hoping there may be others out there who would want to help out after such a tragic incident.
Wishing Shawn a very speedy recovery. If you are able you can donate to Shawn’s fund here.
