A Night Out to Benefit the Earthquake Victims in Chile
As many of you know, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake hit our beloved Chile and devasted the Maule & Bio Bio regions. The cities most affected in these areas, ConstituciĆ³n, Talca and ConcepciĆ³n, were hit by a tsunami shortly after the earthquake struck, flattening many historic buildings and severely damaging thousands of homes.
It is estimated the earthquake has affected at least 1.5 million people in the area and the International Red Cross estimates that it will take between 5-7 years and billions of dollars for the area to recover .
To support nuestro Chile lindo and help raise funds to aid the relief efforts in these regions, Barros Luco would like to invite you to a night out on Saturday, March 27th at 8pm. Food will be provided by Barros Luco and Niall's Pub will offer drink specials all night. A special raffle will be held to give away several prizes including gift certificates to local restaurants and bottles of Chilean wines.
All that we request is a $30 donation at the door which will all go to benefit the Chilean Red Cross (www.cruzroja.cl).
The Chilean Red Cross has been distributing food, hygiene articles and blankets to survivors. It has launched a domestic appeal for cash donations and has called upon the population to donate blood to supply the hospital network.
Participating businesses for raffle prizes:
- Mimi's
- Turtle Bay
- Zarela
- Pescatore
- Buttercup Bake Shop
- Jeffrey Wine & Liquors
- Niall's Pub & Restaurant
- DNY Hair Salon
- Vita Coco (giving away free samples)

and more to come...
