Here’s another cool event/fundraiser taking place this weekend:
Food Bank For New York City, indieScreen, The Cove, and hostess, Allison Love, announce “Zombiefest” – a Zombie Crawl, Film Screening, and after-party charity event.
The Food Bank For New York City is partnering with indieScreen to host a charity event to support Food Bank For New York City’s continuous efforts to fight hunger in the five boroughs. This event will start on Metropolitan Avenue and Marcy Avenue at the Jamie Campiz Playground, will continue at indieScreen’s location at 285 Kent Avenue, and will finish at The Cove on 106 N 6th Street. The event will be held on Saturday, October 30th starting at 4:00 p.m.
During the event, people will be asked to dress as zombies and everyone will “crawl” or walk down Metropolitan Ave., toward indieScreen. After the crowd of zombies arrives at indieScreen, participants will have the option to screen the popular 1968 zombie film, “Night of the Living Dead” in zombie attire. A portion of the ticket price will go toward the Food Bank For New York City. After the film, participants can go to The Cove where the charity event will continue! There will be beer specials and a portion of the proceeds made will also benefit the Food Bank For New York City.
Food Bank For New York City (http://www.foodbanknyc.org/) recognizes 27 years as the city’s major hunger-relief organization working to end food poverty throughout the five boroughs. As the city’s hub for integrated food poverty assistance, the Food Bank tackles the hunger issue on three fronts — food distribution, income support and nutrition education — all strategically guided by its research.
indieScreen (http://www.indiescreen.us/) is a brand new theater and entertainment space located on the Southside of Williamsburg, Brooklyn that features a sophisticated A/V room, a restaurant, and a full bar.
