NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., December 18, 2015 – As promised, the 10th Annual Newport Beach Santa Pub Crawl produced plenty of good cheer and much- needed funds for nonprofit Project Access of Newport Beach, California, which received a check for $13,410.46 from the event that took place Saturday, Dec. 12.

Future Leaders of Our Community (FLOC), OC Weekly, Yelp and GivSum sponsored the Pub Crawl. There were two routes with bars that agreed to provide drink specials to all patrons who purchased wristbands and wore Santa-themed holiday attire during their scheduled time slots.
