3rd Annual Craig Murphey Memorial Fundraiser
On October 17, 2009 Craig's friends and family will gather at Hope Lounge (10 Hope Street between Roebling and Havemeyer) for a fundraising party commemorating Craig's life, and to celebrate the joy he brought to everyone who knew him. Craig was known by most for his roaring laugh, contagious smile and outrageous dancing that kept us all entertained.
To kick off the night, a fundraising raffle will take place. Tickets will be available for purchase both at the venue and in advance at craigmurphey.com/raffle for $5 or $20 for 5. Local boutiques, bars, restaurants, artists and musicians have donated prizes ranging in value from $20 to $300 to the raffle. A percentage of the bar's earnings for the night and the entire profit from the raffle tickets will be donated to NYCCAH’s Craig Murphey Fellowship Fund. Our goal is to raise as much as we can to contribute to the funding of next year's Craig Murphey Fellow who will be working directly on anti-hunger efforts with the NYC Coalition Against Hunger (www.nyccah.org). The more we raise, the more good work can be done.
There will also be a hummus cook off from 6-9pm, in honor of one of Craig's favorite foods. Local chefs will enter their best hummus recipe, which will be judged by partygoers who buy a $5 tasting card (all proceeds going to the Fellowship Fund). The winning chef receives a $50 gift certificate to Whisk (whisknyc.com), with runners-up receiving iPhone cases.
