On Friday night, the Kate Hooks Benefit at Ze Mean Bean Cafe was a huge success. Kate, a teacher at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, is an 11-year veteran of Baltimore City Schools. Her progressive form of multiple sclerosis has confined her to a wheelchair and forced her to hire a caretaker to help her get ready for work in the morning. Insurance doesn't cover the cost of this, which is upwards of $20,000 a year.
Through the event, we were able to raise $2100 for Kate's care. If you would like to donate yourself, please visit Katehooks.Blogspot.com.
Special thanks to Ze Mean Bean Cafe (a great little restaurant and wine bar in Fells Point) for donating its space and selling food at cost. And a big thanks to Caleb Stine for donating his performance and donating all CD sales to the cause.
Below are photographs of the event, which was a lot of fun and an amazing moment of the community coming together for a good cause!
