Capricorns Birthday Bash

@ Brooklyn Boulders

What: Annual Capricorns Birthday Bash - Learn to climb for charity! (For all ages!)

Where: Brooklyn Boulders, 575 Degraw Street  Brooklyn, New York, NY 11217

Spoke the Hub birthday celebrants invite one and all to come party UP with us as we summit new heights at our neighbor's place — Brooklyn Boulders — across the street from our Gowanus space on 295 Doulgas Street. As their founder says, "If you can climb a ladder, you can climb a wall" and there is plenty of padding everywhere for the more timid or fragile amongst us!

In lieu of gifts, we Capricorns are asking our friends and families for a $25 donation (or more, if you can) to Spoke the Hub this year which will go toward supporting our work at the Consolation Center- Haiti, a new girls' school and orphanage we have been partners with since 2010. (Our next work trip to the CCH in Haiti is in February 2012 – want to join us?)

Here's what your $25 donation gets you:
Admission to Brooklyn Boulders where you will be outfitted with a pair of special climbing shoes, then you can climb their fabulous walls or learn to tightrope walk ("slack lining") any time you want, between 11am and midnight on Saturday, January 21, 2012.

For a $100 (or more) donation:
you have access to all of the above as well as your own Boulder's climbing expert to assist you the art of belaying! (Belaying donations must be received by January 13th in order to secure your instructor. To "Learn the Ropes" yourself, a separate belaying certification course is offered; please contact Brooklyn Boulders for course certification details:

Please make your tax-deductible "Capricorn's Birthday Bash" donations online or drop off in our office before January 21st as you will need an official Capricorn's Bash receipt to get in and climb on Saturday.

And at 9:00pm, if all that activity has made you hungry and thirsty, or if you just want to come and say "hi", come on over to our space at Gowanus Arts (295 Douglass Street) for birthday cake, champagne, dancing and relaxing with friends!
