The events of last week have left us reeling and rallying. The excitement and anticipation felt just last Monday morning quickly turned to shock, horror, fear, grief, and now finally, relief. In the face of a tremendous tragedy, we stood Boston strong. Now it’s time to pick up the pieces and put our beloved city back together again.

Wondering what you can do to help? Join us for a Meet Up at Empire from 6-8pm tonight to benefit the victims of the attacks, hosted by BostInno and TUGG, along with the New England Venture Network. We invite you to eat, drink, and come together with other members of our awesome community to help those in need.

Bar proceeds (thanks to our generous hosts at Big Night Entertainment Group), in addition to any donations made on the registration page, will continue to support the campaign launched by Phil Beauregard and members of TUGG. Springing into action moments after the bombing, over $120K was raised in 24 hours, and the $200K goal was reached shortly thereafter.

That’s amazing, but we can do better. Whether it’s pride for our great city, respect for the many innocent lives affected, or a combination of both that bring you there, we look forward to seeing you at Empire (1 Marina Park Drive) tonight, as we come together to do what we can for Boston.

Sign up, donate, and see you soon.
