United Way’s Celebrity Bartender Battle

Local “celebrities” will mix it up Nov. 19 at Celebrity Bartender Battle at Bay Street Yard.

Local “celebrities” will mix it up Nov. 19 at Celebrity Bartender Battle at Bay Street Yard. This family-friendly competition raises money for United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades. The celebrity mixologists, made up of community officials and local business leaders, will be supporting the “United is the Way” fundraising campaign under the leadership of co-chairs Carolyn Rogers (Team Princess Leia) and Will Prather (Team Han Solo). The “bartenders” include Fort Myers Mayor Kevin Anderson, Lee County Commissioner David Mulicka, Marc Collins, Melissa Vogt, Maureen Green-Prather, Mike Cannington, Stephanie Davis and more. All tips and 20% of proceeds from the entire night will go to United Way for its programs that support education, financial stability, food insecurity, and health initiatives within the community. The Celebrity Bartender Battle will be from 5 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 19 at Bay Street Yard, 2136 Bay St. in Fort Myers. Supporters unable to attend the event can support their favorite bartender or team by making a secure donation online at UnitedWayLee.org/Bay-Street-Yard.
