The Mr. Mission Competition is Tonight at the Elbo Room!

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

The lovely Brianna Haag has taken it upon herself to raise a fuckload of money to help fund cancer research. She started Slap Cancer in order to raise $100,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and from what I’m told, she’s already blown by that mark. The Mr. Marina competition she put on last week raised $80,000 alone! Amazing right? I think I’m gonna see if she wants to come help me raise some money to fund some of my future ventures (a chimpanzee petting zoo anyone?).

Anyways, Slap Cancer has teamed up with Clash SF to bring you tonight’s Mr. Mission Competition. The competition will consist of a handful of Missionites attempting to outperform each other in a series of intense skills challenges to prove who’s more hipsterish. There will be 3 judges to impress and scoring will be dependent upon fundraising success as well; each candidate has fundraised for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in order to participate.

It sounds like it’ll be a fun night. Buy tickets on Eventbrite, and get all the rest of the details here.
