Founded in 1987, The Spirit of Christmas is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to helping families and the elderly in need at Christmas by providing toys, clothes and food that are far beyond the reach of their limited finances. Bob’s Garage Restaurant and Lounge in Fox Chapel on Freeport Road holds events each year during which tips are donated to help purchase Christmas gifts and food for those in need. Special entertainers and local celebrities donate their time by appearing and there is no cover charge to attend. Yahtzee games and 50/50 raffles are held, and grab bags are also sold to help raise funds for The Spirit of Christmas. The events began on Dec. 2 and will continue through Dec. 22. Some of the entertainers include The Biker Boys, Jon Cevario, and Mike and John’s Acoustic Jam. For a complete listing of events, please visit the website Spirit-of-Christmas.org.
