LARC Hosts Celebrity Bartender Fundraiser
"Lee Association for Remarkable Citizens (LARC) is shaking things up once again with its second annual Shaken, Stirred & Served, a high-energy Celebrity Bartender Challenge benefiting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
The spirited fundraiser will take place Sunday, April 19, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Nevermind Awesome Bar & Eatery, located at 927 Cape Coral Parkway East, Cape Coral.
Local celebrity bartenders will step behind the bar and onto the floor, competing head-to-head to see who can raise the most tips in support of LARC’s mission. One hundred percent of all tips collected during the event will be donated directly to LARC, helping individuals with disabilities live fuller, more independent lives.
Guests are encouraged to bring friends, enjoy great drinks and food, and tip generously for a cause that makes a real impact. Supporters can also donate in advance toward their favorite celebrity’s tip jar.
Meet Our Celebrity Bartenders:
• Marc Collins, Executive Director of The Uncommon Friends Foundation, community leader, and philanthropist, and Shavon Chester, Health Services Liaison, Cypress Cove, and community-driven leader
• Mel & Scott, Mel & Scott In The Morning Gator Country 101.9, Southwest Florida’s Country Station
