Heat Check 2: Another "Hot Ones"-Inspired Fundraiser for Your Local Newsroom

It's time to reheat!

Join us on May 18 for another fundraising collaboration from your friends at The Record North Shore and Pit & Tap.

Once again, we're opening up Pit & Tap on a fiery Monday night that will put your taste buds to the test — all in support of independent community reporting. Hurry and grab your ticket; space and supplies are limited.

A ticket gets you a seat and 10 wings with 10 rare and outrageous hot sauces, each one hotter than the next. Emcee George Rafeedie will fan the flames, with Joe and Ryan from The Record helping out.

All proceeds benefit your favorite local newsroom, so come hungry — and ready for the heat!

(Must purchase ticket in advance to participate in the wing challenge. Spectators are invited and can enjoy a limited food menu and full bar.)
