Description
On April 25th, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Nepal, killing 8,000, injuring over 17,000, and displacing 2.8 million people. Less than three weeks later, another massive earthquake of 7.3-magnitude killed dozens, toppled over many of the remaining buildings, and sent the nation further into panic and desperation. Today, hundreds of thousands throughout the country are without adequate food, shelter, and medical care. Furthermore, relief and rescue teams have yet to reach decimated villages in some of the remotest regions of the country among the hardest hit.
Join us at The Gibson for a Nepal Earthquakes Relief Fundraiser, as we gather in solidarity to support the Nepali people during a time of unthinkable fear and loss. With a $25 donation, you are invited to enjoy discounted specialty cocktails, known to be DC's best, at this sophisticated speakeasy. 100% of proceeds go to WeHelpNepal to aid in direct, local and grassroots relief work. There will also be a raffle of beautiful, authentic Nepali handicrafts and other Nepal-related items, so please bring some cash!
