Beyond the Bull to join annual
fundraiser to benefit Helping Hands of Clemson
In August 1984, an emergency shelter and foster home for abused
and neglected children from across the upstate of South Carolina, opened its
doors. Helping Hands of Clemson received their
first children into their House that was licensed to care for 16
children. Today the House is licensed to care for 54 children. To date, they have cared for an estimated
8,000, the majority coming from Anderson, Greenville, Oconee and Pickens
counties.
If you have ever driven through the depot district of downtown
Central, there, on Main Street, you will see a thrift store also named Helping
Hands. This retail outlet, staffed by volunteers
and stocked with used merchandise donated by generous local citizenry, is the
source of much of their funding. But,
the fundraising doesn’t stop there. In
addition to private donations and store revenue, Helping Hands of Clemson hosts
an annual pub crawl, an annual Crawl for
the Kids.
On Saturday, March 15, the Annual Crawl for the Kids Pub Crawl
begins with check-in at 5 PM and will last until approximately, 11:30 PM that night. Unlike other pub crawls, crawlers can choose
to shuttle with a group or go out on their own to the various participants offering
drink and food specialties in and around downtown Clemson. This year, the crawl is expanding to include
the newest downtown Central eatery,
Beyond the Bull (BTB), offering free duck chowder and chili to anyone
from the Crawl who stops in. In
addition, BTB is donating $ 1.00 to the Helping Hands Building
Fund for every entrée sold during that time. Downtown Central is fast becoming a dining
destination with six successfully operating restaurants all within walking distance
of each other from Mexican to Asian and now BTB, an eat smart kitchen
specializing in wild game.
The price to participate is $25 per person for a crawl tee which
guarantees you various specials at each stop along the route. To reserve your T-shirt, you must
pre-register by Tuesday, March 4. For
more details go to Helping Hands.
Eat Smart, Feel Good!
