News Release about DCE fund-raiser for Adam: Spread the word
Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2008 10:19 am
Thanks to Melissa R-P for this excellent press release. Please disseminate it widely to friends, co-workers, family, anyone who might go to the event or support it with a donation. Also if you have friends or neighbors in the media - yes, even Gannett - please forward it to them. Let's beat the drum and make this one BIG!
Adam Tatum, the owner of Oak Street Pizza in Louisville, is just a guy who loves putting out good food, trying to run his business and make a living. He’s a one-man show, and has been getting a pretty good reputation for a seriously good pie. That is, until Sunday night, when two men pulled a gun and shot him in a robbery attempt. Adam was hit in the chest and had surgery to repair the damage. He’s still in the hospital recovering, but in the meantime, his business is closed and there are medical bills to consider.
So, a group of local foodies on LouisvilleHotBytes.Com have pulled together to help raise money for Adam and get him, and his business, back to health. Matthew at Derby City Espresso is hosting a benefit on Thursday, October 16 at his coffeehouse and beverage mecca at 331 East Market St. From 11am – 6pm, $1 from every drink will be donated to help Adam and Oak Street Pizza. Then, from 6-midnight, there will be a bigger party, with live jazz (starting at 9 p.m.), a silent auction, and not only a $1 drink donation, but Marsha Lynch of Café Lou Lou will be serving up slices of her to-die-for cakes…price being whatever you want to give to Adam! Foodies are coming out of the woodwork…er…kitchen to help, so there will probably be more surprises in store that night.
Foodies Unite for Adam and Oak St Pizza!
Thursday, October 16 11am – 6pm
Silent Auction and more 6pm – 9pm
Live jazz - 9pm - Midnight
Derby City Espresso
