During the entire month of December, for the past 20 years, a pub in Calgary, Alberta, has been serving its secret recipe eggnog for charity.
This year, the Ship and Anchor set aside $5 from every $5.95-glass sold and broke its previous record, raising $26,270 with four days left to go.
If you do the math, it means more than 5 thousand glasses of ‘nog have been consumed for three Alberta-based organizations:
- HIV Community Link, which works to reduce the harm associated with HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C;
- the Global Enrichment Foundation, which was founded by hostage survivor Amanda Lindhout and aims to empower women in war-ravaged and developing countries;
- and the Calgary Scope Society, a non-profit agency providing services to people with developmental disabilities.
Money will also go to Toronto-based Global Medic, for its Ebola relief efforts.
