"Monstars" Gives Back

One of Hubby's friends had this great idea of turning your usual Christmas get together into something a lot more meaningful.  For years, Jackson Ong and his band of brothers have been day dreaming about their ideal charity project.  And last February, this dream was finally turned into an awesome reality.

December 2009. Jax, together with his girlfriend, organized a charitable Christmas bingo/poker party open to friends, friends of friends, and just about anyone on their Facebook friends list :P.  After feasting on to-die-for (literally for some, ahem ahem, dear Hubby) Lechon among others, Mr. and Ms. Organizer shared the whole idea of the night. Bingo + Poker + Giving Back = Extremely Rewarding Night!  Everyone present joined in on the fun with half of the proceeds going to the lucky winner and more importantly the other half, going to grocery funds for the chosen non-profit organization.

Fast forward to February 27, 2010 and you get 40 kids, 20 friends and 1 amazing afternoon.
