"Bring chairs. Bring blankets. Bring some drinks (non-alcoholic). You can line up on both sides of the street," said Mark Gatta of Opus Elite. "The office will be open for anyone to use the restrooms or to cool down on the hot days. You can also grab some water and some snacks inside. And if they want to buy a glass of lemonade, that will benefit the foundation as well."
