Because there will be no door charge, and any profit the Pub turns during the event will go towards paying the staff, it will be very difficult for WHRB to recoup its losses.“Unless people are willing to buy our 150 t-shirts, we will probably lose money,” she says. “This is for the Harvard community; it’s not just for us.”S.
