Unleashed LGBTQ+ and The Ivy Tavern announced a new monthly initiative dedicated to raising funds and awareness for LGBTQ+ nonprofit organizations across Dallas. The announcement comes a day before the inaugural happy hour event. Featuring Unleashed LGBTQ+ Premium Vodka, the event launches March 20 at 5:30 p.m. with 10 percent of featured cocktail sales going toward this month’ partner, Legacy Cares.
“Legacy Cares is an incredible organization that I’ve been proud to support since moving to Dallas,” Unleashed founder Wesley Smoot said in Thursday’s announcement. “Their work—providing access to medication, job placement, housing, and so much more—truly changes lives. Their compassionate and dedicated leadership continues to make a meaningful impact in our community, and we’re honored to spotlight them as our inaugural beneficiary.”
Sip on such specialty cocktails like the Pink Flamingo (Unleashed Vodka + Pink Lemonade) and the Southern Belle (Unleashed Vodka + Sweet Iced Tea) to contribute to the fundraising.
The evening will feature music by DJ Tony Dean, along with drink specials, complimentary bites and additional donor opportunities.
Participating nonprofits will have the opportunity to host a table, share information and promote upcoming events and initiatives.
“We hope this creates a space where organizations can connect, collaborate and simply enjoy a fun, relaxed environment together,” Smoot added.
Unleashed LGBTQ+ and The Ivy Tavern will continue this monthly series, supporting a rotating lineup of nonprofits, with a focus on AIDS service organizations and community-driven initiatives.
Nonprofits interested in consideration as a future beneficiary should reach out to Justin Grucholski at info@unleashedlgbtq.com.
