Ditch the black tie for a refreshing dose of utterly ridiculous-looking holiday fun. The Hideous Holiday Party at The Place (2 Broad Street, Boston, 617.523.2081) is hosted by the Boston chapter of the Hopscotch Network (www.hopscotchnetwork.org), a nonprofit collaboration of young professionals who come together to raise funds for various urban charities. The sweater fest aims to help the families of children with mitochondrial disease (a chronic, genetic disorder that affects approximately one in 4000 American children) by donating the proceeds to the Mitochondrial Disease Action Committee. The suggested donation is $15, and the party runs from 8 to 10 p.m. There’s just one requirement: wear the most painfully horrible sweater you own. Think Bill Cosby circa, well, always.
