Join the South Dakota State Society for our Holiday Happy Hour at Penn Quarter Sports Tavern! This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow South Dakotans in D.C. while supporting two great causes for those in need this holiday season: the local charity Thrive DC and the Boys and Girls Club of the Rosebud Reservation. Before you join us, check your closets, and bring an old winter coat or new/gently used, K-8-sized or one-size-fits-all winter clothing, like hats, scarves, mittens and gloves for a free beverage. You can also bring children's books, school supply kits, children-age-appropriate games, or other holiday gifts. Cash donations are also appreciated.

The following donations will earn you one free* drink ticket! Please bring as many of the following items as you care to donate.
- 1 coat
- 3 items of winter wear
- 1 children's book
- $10 (cash only)

*limit three tickets per person

Donated coats will go to Thrive DC - a local charity that works to prevent and end homelessness here in the District. To learn more about Thrive DC, check out their website here: https://www.thrivedc.org/about/.

All other donated items and funds will go to the Boys and Girls Club of Rosebud, which serves youth on the Rosebud Reservation back in South Dakota. If you're not familiar with the Rosebud Boys and Girls Club, here' s an introduction video about the organization and the important service they provide to Rosebud youth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL8q7dgcmfU. More information can be found on their website: https://www.rosebudbgc.org/about_us.

We look forward to seeing you at Penn Quarter on Thursday, December 12th!
