Percent Night at Ash
After planting roots in Homewood, Alabama, Mark and Ashley Opened Ash Neighborhood Bar & Grill. Using the freshest ingredients Alabama has to offer, Chef Driskill incorporates his love of preparing foods from scratch and having the ingredients speak for themselves. A pillar to the West Homewood community, Mark and Ashley are active in giving back. We are honored to have them host a giveback night in support of XVI.
By dining at Ash on Wednesday, December 1st, 15% of sales will go to our mission!
Where: Avenue D Events 3008 4th Avenue S, Birmingham, AL 35233. There is ample street parking available.
When: Sunday September 27th from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.
What To Wear: Colorful, in whatever colorful means to you. We are a non-stuffy crew of misfit advocates.
What We Will Do: Mingle from 6:30 to 7, be seated for a plated meal by 7, enjoy drinks from the full bar, listen to a small programming portion where we will ask you for money (we are here to raise dough as much as we are to have a good time). All to the tune of a live saxophonist in the background.
Our Hope: To raise $35,000 to promote our mission. Or encourage you to be a continued advocate for our mission. Or be a person you or someone you know can lean on.
