Quarters4Relief raising money for Haiti bit by bit
In the time since an earthquake devastated Haiti, you’ve likely heard many people say something along the lines of “Give whatever you can. Even the smallest amount helps.” One bar in Austin is proof that even small giving can add up.
Since January 22, the recently opened Kung Fu Saloon, with the help of its patrons, has been doing its part with Quarters4Relief . The bar located on Rio Grande Street just off West Sixth Street has been using their 19 vintage arcade games to raise funds for the Haitian relief effort.
Every quarter inserted into their arcades (think Ms. Pacman, Galaga, Space Invaders and more) since last week will be donated to the Red Cross. This weekend is the final weekend to test your hand-eye-coordination, sip a cold one and give money to the relief effort, one quarter at a time.
“This is the least we can do to help those that have been affected by this unimaginable tragedy in Haiti,” said Kung Fu Saloon’s co-owner, Nick Adams.
