The Gentlemen’s Club Pub Crawl
On the weekend of the Taking Steps for Cancer 5K Run/Walk, the Grand Lake Gentlemen's Club sponsors the annual Pub Crawl in Grand Lake. At this event, Club members and friends visit local bars and brazenly approach pub patrons for donations as they are trying to enjoy a tasty libation. Last year we raised $10,796 for the Cancer Fund. Participation in the Pub Crawl is open to anyone over 21, but does require registration for the 5K Run/Walk.
Contact Michael Cornwell at 847-644-5923 for a registration form.
