Kalamazoo Gazette: Social Charity Circle of Kalamazoo forms

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Two friends wanted to make giving to charities affordable and stress-free for everyone in Kalamazoo, so they formed a new group to make it possible, reports the Kalamazoo Gazette.

Once a month, the Social Charity Circle of Kalamazoo chooses a restaurant to host a three-hour event benefiting a local charity. The restaurant and charity is different each month. For a $10 donation, attendees receive one complimentary drink.

Melissa LaVanway and Krysten Avery co-founded the group. Avery said the events are a good way for people to network and support charities while doing something that they already do and enjoy.
