Yelp Helps for the Holidays Benefit for Judson Center Tonight

Want to do some good this holiday season? There’s a benefit for Judson Center at Leon & Lulu that’s not only a blast, but also rewarding and helpful to local kids in need. Yelp Helps for the Holidays: A Benefit for Judson Center is from 6-9 p.m. November 12 at Leon & Lulu.

Enjoy tastes from a dozen local restaurants, drinks, sweet tunes, fabulous shopping and the opportunity to stuff a stocking full of goodies for babies, kids and teens at the Judson Center. Every child will receive a stocking, including everything from daily necessities such as toothpaste and deodorant, to silly toys that will bring smiles.

“We had an idea to give back to teens who are often forgotten during the holidays,” says Mary Liz Curtin, co-owner of Leon & Lulu. “We got in touch with our wonderful and creative friends and Yelp and then contacted Judson Center. Once we learned Judson Center worked with kids of all ages, and even infants, we decided to create an event that would give every child at Judson a gift – Yelp Helps for the Holidays.”

The Judson Center is a non-profit that provides expert, comprehensive services in southeastern Michigan that strengthen children, adults and families impacted by abuse and neglect, autism, developmental disabilities, and mental health challenges.

For a $20 donation, guests will get a bag to fill full of gifts and fundamentals (an $80-$100 value) for a special child, plus complimentary food and drink from the following generous partners:
