Twin Cities Thursday Happy Hours is happy to announce that tickets are now on sale for the 2nd Annual TCTHH Charity Event benefiting the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota.

This years event will bring together people for a networking event that helps to give back to our local community. There will be food provided by Stella’s for the event, a silent auction, you name the price Sam Adams beer ($1 minium, all Sam Adams proceeds are donated) and fun networking with other Twin Cities business professionals.
