Local bars host Charity Happy Hour

ROCHESTER, N.Y. Bars around Rochester are pitching in to help those in need, and the effort was led by a real-life superhero.

He’s known as the Batman of San Jose. His mission is to help out and humanize homeless people in Rochester. He teamed up with some local bars to set up a Charity Happy Hour.

“I love to start conversations and get people talking about ways we can better help our community because winter is coming up fast and it’s going to get pretty cold, so I’d love it if we can get people engaged in wanting to help,” the Batman of San Jose said.

All proceeds go to the House of Mercy and Recovery All Ways. The local app called BeerPass is also participating, and users can trigger a donation with the code “GIVE.”
