Our holiday fundraiser on December 20th ended up being a huge success and an event that everyone at UTBT is incredibly proud of and will remember for a long time to come. The event was held at 15 Romolo, in North Beach, San Francisco, a cute little bar tucked away up on Romolo Alley (off Broadway, between Columbus and Kearny).
The night really couldn’t have been more perfect, not only was the venue an ideal place for this type and size of fundraiser, but everything came together perfectly. There were enough people there where everyone could m
ingle and have a good time, but not so packed where you can’t move from one side of the bar to the other. We also received kind food donations from Rose Pistola, Tony’s Pizza Nepolitana, Da Flora, Le Colonial, Betelnut and Hog Island Oyster Company… and wow, was everything am
azing! Oysters, yum. Meatballs, yum. Bruscetta, yum. Seafood skewers, yum—I don’t really think I need to say more. And of course, the great staff at 15 Romolo worked their butts off making amazing cocktails that they specifically designed for the event from the spirits that were donated from Cabana Cachaca, Cachaca Leblon, Campari, Bullet Bourbon, 209 Gin, Charbay, Crawford and Malone Fine Wines and Spirits (and we can’t forget the wine and beer that was donated from Samuel Adams and Casa Vinicola Zonin). The raffles and silent auctions went off without a hitch, and a number of people won great prizes, from jewelry to wine and liquor to some great gift certificates. And because everything was donated to UTBT, all the profits from the event go directly to the organization, and subsequently to the children in Namaso Bay.

We want to take the time to thank everyone that helped us with the event, especially Aurora Siegel who was amazing in every way, shape and form, the staff at 15 Romolo, and Sila for providing great music for the event. Truly, we could not have pulled off such a successful event without everyone’s help and kind donations. We are excited to use the momentum from this event to make sure that 2010 is an unforgettable year for UTBT.

Much love to all and happy holidays!
