Running of the Santas raises funds for pediatric cancer research, but that doesn't stop the participants from ruining Christmas for dozens of little kids every year. We were out on Third Street the afternoon of the event and saw a group of drunken "Santas" surround a toddler and start "ho ho ho"ing. The intended effect was laughter. That wasn't the result.

There are lots of reasons why drinking heavily on Valentine’s Day is probably a good idea, but here’s a new one: University City Kiwanis Club is sponsoring A Shot for Love, a fundraiser at McFadden’s Restaurant and Saloon tonight from 9PM-12AM. As you head in, let the nice person at the door know that you are there for the Kiwanis Club gathering, and your $5 cover will be donated to the Second Chance Support Group, a non-profit organization supporting families affected by heart transplantation. In addition to providing the public with information about organ transplantation and donation, they raise funds to assist organ recipients who need help with medical and other expenses. In recognition of your good deed, you’ll enjoy half-price appetizers until 10PM, $1 well drinks until 11PM, and $1 Miller Lites for the duration. Just don’t get too into it: they won’t be able to help you with a new liver.
