The 8th annual A Drink For The Kids benefit for The Vera Project kicked off this week in Seattle. This benefit gives Seattleites the opportunity to show their support for all-ages music and art at The Vera Project by simply enjoying some live music and some tasty beverages. Here is how it works: when you purchase one of the Pyramid Ales or one of the designated drink specials at the participating locations the proceeds go directly to The Vera Project. For those of you who are unfamiliar with The Vera Project it "is a non-profit, all-ages music and arts space at Seattle Center that fosters a participatory creative culture through popular music concerts, arts programs, experiential learning and volunteer opportunities for all-ages, especially young people."

Tonight July 16th at 6pm our neighbor the Solo Bar in Lower Queen Anne are nice enough to be hosting a music night to support this great program! DJ sets from some of your favorite hosts will kick-off at 6pm including Damien Jurado headlining at 8pm! So if you are looking for something fun to do tonight this is a great chance to have a few drinks, enjoy some good music, and support a great cause. You plus friends, drink specials, and live music equals a great time!

For those of you don't enjoy the spirited beverage type, but would still like to show your support you can do so by grabbing a coffee at Caffe Vita locations throughout the city. For more info here is the complete A Drink For The Kids schedule.
