Charitable drinking at Race Street Cafe
The cafe hosts a benefit on June 23 for an employee with some nasty medical bills.
Charitable drinking at Race Street Cafe
Recently diagnosed with a congenital heart valve defect, 35-year-old Aaron Weber, beloved bartender at Race Street Cafe (208 Race St., 215-627-6181) underwent a valve replacement and bypass surgery last month. The operation was a success, but Weber's recovery has a dark cloud hanging over it: the hospital bill; without medical insurance and unable to work for several months, it's looming ominously. His coworkers are Race Street have organized Get Your Heart on for Aaron, a benefit for Sat., June 23, from noon to 4 p.m. For $25, you get beer, snacks and local musicians. All money raised goes directly to Weber. You can also make donations via their Facebook event page. We wish Race Street success with the event, and Weber a speedy recovery.
