The festivities will commence at Shootz Café and will travel down East Carson Street to The Lava Lounge, The Tiki Lounge, Jekyl & Hydes, and many more bars on the way to Barry’s. The first 200 registrants will receive a free commemorative beer mug and there will be prizes and giveaways throughout the afternoon. All that is needed to join in the fun is the $30 dollar registration donation.

The bar crawl is to help raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through Team in Training (TNT). TNT is a fundraising program offered by The Society that helps train people to run or walk a full or half marathon, cycle a century ride, or complete a triathlon. Splitstone and Hanley need to fundraise a combined total of $11,500 for the events in which they will participate. Both of them will be riding in “America’s Most Beautiful Bike Ride” in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The 100-mile course is considered highly challenging. Splitstone will also be competing in the “Memphis in May” triathlon in Memphis, Tennessee. Here, he will complete a 1.5k swim, 40k cycle, and a 10k run.
