Bugsy's is doing good stuff:

"(Alexandria, Virginia) / (April 5, 2013) –The St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a volunteer-driven charity dedicated to raising money for childhood cancer research, will host its second annual fundraiser at Bugsy’s Pizza Restaurant and Sport Bar. Located at 111 King Street, the Bugsy’s event is on Saturday, April 20, 2013 from 3 – 6:00 pm with many sports related silent auction items from a signed Alex Ovechkin jersey to a signed Capitals hockey stick or a signed Capitals team jersey a Port City Brewery tour and tasting for 12 and many more items. The first 36 people to donate $25 or more will receive a t-shirt.

Former NHL, Stanley Cup finalist and Capitals legend, Bryan Watson, is sponsoring the event in his sport bar because it is such a compelling cause. Worldwide a child is diagnosed with cancer every three minutes, and one in five children diagnosed in the U.S. will not survive.

With only 4 percent of all federal cancer research funding dedicated to pediatric cancer research, St. Baldrick’s Foundation volunteers, supporters and donors are needed to continue the battle against this devastating disease
