Children's Leukemia Foundation of MI benefit March 13 in Detroit

DETROIT, MI  - Abick's Bar, located at 3500 Gilbert in Detroit, will once again host the popular "Prime Your Pump for Patty's Day" charity benefit on Friday, March 13 at 7:00pm.  All proceeds from the evening will benefit the Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan. 

Founded in Detroit in 1952, the Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan is a statewide organization that provides information, financial assistance, and emotional support to families of adults and children affected by blood disorders.  Betsy Bonnell, Director of Development for the Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan notes that the organization does not receive government funding of any kind.  "We rely wholly on the generosity of individuals.  The significance of events like this is that the money is raised here and stays here."

The charity benefit, which is co-sponsored by Sure Shot Darts, will run dart tournaments during the night with trophies and cash prizes going to first and second place winners.  The event will feature a live auction, to include tickets and autographed memorabilia from the Detroit Red Wings, Pistons and Tigers, bar mirrors, and much more.  There will also be plenty of the homemade food that has become a staple of Abick's events. 

There is no cover charge for this event.
