It’s a “Friendsgiving” with benefits.

Brunch Babes Tucson has put together their second annual Babesgiving dinner at American Eat Co. from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Saturday, November 23.

If you’ve never been to one of these alternate Thanksgiving dinners, it’s a great way to form new and lasting friendships, but this one in particular benefits the local community.

Brunch Babes Tucson has partnered up with the local nonprofit group Angel Heart Pajama Project, and you’re encouraged to bring new pajamas and books that’ll be donated to kids in foster care or shelters.

When it comes to the grub, there’s going to be some mighty fine options. American Eat Co. is serving up a festively-themed fall menu with vegan options and specialty cocktails.

Tickets are $55 per person and there are only 80 spots total. Your ticket includes access to the buffet-style meal, two drinks, access to the photobooth, and good times with other local babes. Don’t forget to dress in fall colors!
