Despite having no children of his own, Beast often v olunteered his time to help out with children's sports teams in his ne ighborhood. The idea behind the \"Beast Day\" fundraiser was that alth ough Beast was no longer here to help out those kids, those that knew Beast could come together to celebrate his life and raise money for a worthwhile cause that was close to his heart: youth athletic programs in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas.\nThis year's Beast Day even t will be held Saturday, February 7 from 5-9pm at the McFadden's Irish Pub & Johnny Utah's Saloon complex on 3rd Street in Northern Libertie s. Tix are $25 at the door, and include beer, wine, food, and soft dri nks. Entertainment includes multiple DJs, live music from Michael Anth ony Thompson, Laura Lea, and longtime area favorite The Rockets, photo booths, mechanical bull, and an amazing auction.\nThrough the kindnes s and generosity of our sponsors, donors, promotional partners, volunt eers, and attendees, our event continues to grow. We can now expect fr om 400-500 people, including local notables, to come out for the event . Since our inception, The Friends Of Beast Foundation has raised over $150,000 for youth athletic programs in Philadelphia and South Jersey . It is our belief that we are the largest grassroots charitable organ ization to benefit a wide variety of athletic programs for both able-b odied and disabled children in the Philadelphia metropolitan and subur ban areas. \n \nTo donate or find out how you can help, contact Frie nds Of Beast on Facebook at  www.facebook.com/pages/Beast-Day-Friends -of-Beast , on Twitter at @FriendsOfBeast, or via e-mail at FriendsO fBeast@gmail.com. Donations can be safely made online at the secure w ebsite , http://www.nlabsports.com/campaigns/friends-of-beast-day .  \n\nFor more information visit http://phillytodo.com/events/beast-day -for-youth-sports-in-philadelphia-presented-by-friends DTSTART:20150207T220000Z DTEND:20150208T020000Z CATEGORIES:charity, non-profit, fundraiser, sports LOCATION:Johnny Utah's Saloon & McFadden's Irish Pub WEBSITE:http://www.johnnyutahsphilly.com www.mcfaddensphilly.com URL:http://www.johnnyutahsphilly.com www.mcfaddensphilly.com CONTACT:(215)928-0630 (215)909-9829 ORGANIZER;CN="Todd Burnside":http://phillytodo.com/profile/ToddBurnsid e ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/3054984017?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Todd Bur nside":http://phillytodo.com/profile/ToddBurnside END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
