Charity Pub Crawl & Cornhole Tournament

HTDC Events is launching the first Biggest Little Rack Attack charity pub crawl in Midtown Reno on Saturday, May 23, according to the organizer’s event page and a listing published by This Is Reno. The event is billed as a fundraiser for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and will move participants through four bars over roughly 6 1/2 hours. The crawl begins at The Fox Brewery & Pub at 2 p.m. and is scheduled to end around 8:30 p.m., according to the event materials. Tickets are being sold in advance, with general admission and VIP options listed on the organizer’s registration page. ### Which event is actually happening in Reno this weekend? The Biggest Little Rack Attack is the named event attached to the charity pub crawl highlighted by This Is Reno this week. The publication described it as a sponsored events listing and said the crawl benefits the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. HTDC Events is identified as the host on both the media listings and the organizer’s own site. (biggestlittlerackattack.com) Saturday, May 23, is the scheduled date, and Midtown Reno is the setting used across the listings. The Patch calendar post, attributed to Kelly and Andy Howe, called it the “first-ever” Biggest Little Rack Attack and said it was created to bring the community together for “a fun and meaningful afternoon.” (thisisreno.com) ### Where does the crawl start, and which bars are on the route? The Fox Brewery & Pub is listed as the first stop and check-in location. The organizer’s event page gives the address as 124 Wonder St. and says the crawl starts there at 2 p.m. The route then runs to Z Bar, Forty Mile Saloon and Filthy McNastys, according to both the organizer and Patch event listing. (patch.com) Midtown Reno is the focus of the route rather than downtown casino properties or a citywide bar crawl circuit. The organizer says participants will move stop to stop while receiving drink specials, raffle entries and, for some ticket tiers, signature pink drinks. ### How much are tickets, and what do buyers get? General admission is listed as the “Breastie Bestie Pass” at $30, plus a $0.75 service fee, on the event registration page. (biggestlittlerackattack.com) The organizer says that pass includes five bonus raffle tickets, drink specials at all locations, recognition as a “Breastie Bestie,” and an event bracelet. (biggestlittlerackattack.com) The VIP option is listed as the “Pink Power” ticket at $50, plus a $1.25 service fee. HTDC Events says that tier includes 10 bonus raffle tickets, one signature pink drink at all four locations, a pink swag bag, drink specials, recognition as a “Pink Power Supporter,” and an event bracelet. (biggestlittlerackattack.com) ### Who is behind the fundraiser, and where does the money go? HTDC Events is the organizer named across the event listings. Patch identified Kelly and Andy Howe in its calendar post, and a KOLO interview summary carried by MSN and NewsBreak said the two organizers appeared on “Morning Break” to invite the community to attend. (biggestlittlerackattack.com) The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is the beneficiary named on the event pages. This Is Reno said the crawl is intended to raise funds for breast cancer research, and the organizer’s promotional pages repeatedly frame the event as a “crawl for a cure.” One HTDC Events post says the planning was shaped by a personal loss, with the writer saying a mother died of breast cancer on May 22, 2021. (patch.com) ### Is this the cornhole-and-food-vendors event mentioned in the card? This Is Reno’s article headline says “Pub Crawl, Cornhole, and More,” but the verified material tied to the charity crawl itself centers on the Midtown bar route, ticket tiers and breast cancer fundraising. The event pages and supporting listings reviewed here do not verify a linked cornhole tournament, park programming or local food-vendor lineup as part of this same crawl. (thisisreno.com) Reno Cornhole Club’s site shows that the club hosts tournaments, but the search results reviewed did not establish a direct connection between that club and the Biggest Little Rack Attack event. That means the strongest confirmed details remain the crawl’s route, timing, host and beneficiary. ### What should participants do before Saturday? Saturday, May 23, is the next key date, and the organizer says tickets must be purchased ahead of time. (thisisreno.com) The event pages say digital tickets are used for entry and check-in, and Patch’s listing says the event is a pre-sale crawl expected to sell out. This Is Reno’s event roundup and the organizer’s registration pages carry the current schedule and purchase information ahead of the 2 p.m. start at The Fox Brewery & Pub.
