Jack Bear Raising Spirits at Milkstop
Saturday, June 7th from 8-10pm
Join us on Saturday, June 7th from 8–10pm for a special guest bartending night at Milkstop in La Grange, where members of the Jack Bear Foundation team will be behind the bar raising spirits for a great cause! 10% of bar proceeds and all tip jar donations during this time will benefit the foundation and our mission to advance research for SCAR-15, a rare genetic disorder.
Make an evening of it—dine in before or swing by for a nightcap to support Jack Bear in style! (Dining proceeds are not included in the fundraiser, but we’d love to help support this generous local business—reservations are suggested — call 708-937-9158.)
