An estimated 5,000 crawlers filled the streets with merry and good cheer last Saturday for the fourth annual SANTA Monica Pub Crawl, and helped raise a record high $20,000 (enough for 100,000 pounds of food) for people in need for the holidays, said organizer Kim Koury.
"Thank you to everyone for your support and to my Spin PR team for all of your hard work!" wrote Koury on her Facebook page on Wednesday. "I couldn't have done it without you."
Those who were unable to make it to the pub crawl can still donate to the Westside Food Bank by visiting www.westsidefoodbankca.org.
Last year the crawl raised over $17,000 for the food bank.
