Mardi Gras is coming up, believe it or not, and Chicagoist is planning on celebrating it with a three-hour open bar at Fizz on February 5th with the Emergency Fund - you can buy tickets online today for $30, or at the door for $35. Chicagoist is a proud supporter of Emergency Fund.

OK, so what is Emergency Fund? EF, through an established network of more than 40 partner agencies distributes assistance on behalf of low-income Chicago residents facing emergency situations. At each agency, a volunteer Fund Manager disburses anywhere between $1,000 and $2,500 per month to eliminate these crises and help families get back on their feet. Read some examples of how EF helps folks out every day.

So come on out, help a good cause, and drink while you do it!
