For those interested, a few Pearl Jam fans have set up a pre-party/CCFA fundraiser at Patrick McGoverns Pub & Restaurant in St. Paul.
CCFA = Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America
Festivities run from 2:00 p.m. – 5 p.m. with a raffle at 4:30 p.m. (on both 6/26 & 6/27)
Exclusive deals, featured events, and the latest from MNSpeak, delivered straight to your inbox.

Yes, these pre-parties are always a lot of fun. Plus the stuff in the raffle is pretty cool. (At least for Pearl Jam fans). If you’re a Petty fan, please feel free to bring some items for the raffle as well.
Thanks!

I have colitis, but I don’t know if I can make it to the party. Does CCFA do other events in town?

It’ looks like they do have a MN chapter with several events coming up like the Mark Rosen Golf Classic in September…
