Earthquake Fundraiser Brings in $32,000
Over the weekend, Hyphen sponsored a charity fundraiser at Circolo Restaurant and Ultralounge to help the victims of the earthquake that happened in China on May 12, 2008. Let me just say, the event was the bomb!As the title stated already, the event brought in $32,000. Wow! It was definitely one of those "feel good" and "I want to give more" events. The parking was easy (unfortunately this issue always makes a huge difference to the success of an event), the DJ was fantastic, and the space was crowded but not overcrowded. All in all, the Hyphen crew had a good time there and we appreciated everyone that made it out. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you to the organizers for pulling together this event and letting us be a part making the difference.
The fundraiser also would not have been possible without the other generous sponsors of the event. So I want to take a second to give them all a shout out.

Congratulations on the fundraiser. Sounds like it went amazing.
