“Aside from being a great way to support our local businesses, the crawl benefits toys for tots, allowing so many kids in our community to enjoy a toy for the holiday!” said Lisa Grigsby, owner of Planned2Give, hosting non-profit of the Pub Crawl.
Participants can pre-register at planned2give.networkforgood.com by donating $10 to Toys for Tots and get their first drink for free. People can still register in-person on Saturday by bringing a $10 unwrapped child’s toy or donate a minimum of $10, though they won’t receive their first drink for free.

“While the Pub Crawl officially ends at 9 p.m., many of the bars will have entertainment scheduled for late night revelry,” Grigsby added. “For instance, Dublin Pub has DJ Jay Nigro spinning tunes till midnight.”
