FROM CUPCAKES TO COATS

Mazzoni Center staged its third annual Beer & Cupcakes event Dec. 7 at The Bike Stop. Mazzoni staff Heather Doughty (from left), Kate Redmond and Kira Manser displayed the array of baked goods that staff members made for the event. Proceeds helped the agency purchase coats and winter wear for clientele and their children, as well as for homeless LGBT youth in Philadelphia. The night netted $2,400 and enabled the agency to buy more than 200 coats and 150 toys. AIDS Fund will also contribute an additional 150 toys to the cause. “We were thrilled at the turnout, and the tremendous show of support from the community for this year’s event,” said Mazzoni casemanager coordinator Ryan Goldner (right), the primary organizer of the event. “We’re especially grateful to our friends at The Bike Stop for hosting us again.” Photo: Scott Drake
