This one’s for my fellow barflies who know Dennis and Mary Pat, who are regulars at the Saucer and other Downtown bars. They actually live in Alabama, where Dennis is a principal, but they love Downtown Memphis and visit frequently.
One of the main reasons they fell in love with Memphis is the St. Jude Half Marathon that is run here every December. “They do a fantastic job of staging a first class event,” the couple wrote.
Mary Pat has a challenge for all her Downtown Memphis friends. She’s running the half marathon. She set up a St. Jude Heroes page here, and she’s asking everyone to donate the equivalent of at least one good night’s bar tab (it can be a Pint Nite tab if you want). Her goal is to raise at least $2,000 for St. Jude by the day of the race.
Even if you can’t donate, Mary Pat would appreciate it if you’d at least check out the page and pass on the info via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter or whatever your preferred method of communication is. I’ve posted a pic of her below.
