Mixing for a Cause: A Unique Fundraising Experience for Non-Profits
Turn happy hour into purpose-driven fundraising
Invite your supporters, raise money for your mission, AND serve up a memorable mixology experience.
What is Mixing for a Cause?
At Say Yes to the Cocktail, we believe fundraising should be as fun as it is effective. With Mixing for a Cause, your nonprofit organization hosts a live, interactive mixology class where supporters learn to mix cocktails (and mocktails!) while your cause benefits.
We partner with you: you provide the audience and promote the event, we bring the expert bartenders, ingredients, fun, and a great experience. Ticket sales are split—your organization earns revenue, and everyone enjoys an elevated social event with a purpose.
Why this works for non-profits
-
Stand out from typical fundraisers – Traditional bake sales, auctions or dinners are great, but a mixology workshop brings something fresh, interactive and lively.
-
Engagement + experience = better turnout – Your supporters do more than attend—they participate, learn, socialize, and feel directly involved.
-
Profitable by design – Through a ticket-sale split, you benefit financially with minimal overhead on your part.
-
On-brand, customizable & inclusive – Whether you want a cocktail-focused evening, a zero-alcohol “mocktail” version, or a themed event (tropical, elegant, seasonal) we can tailor it.
-
Promotes your mission while entertaining – Supporters come for the fun, stay for the cause. It’s social, shareable, and memorable.
How it works – Simple three-step process
You engage your audience & sell tickets.
We provide event-ready marketing assets (flyer, email copy, social graphics) and you leverage your community, email list and supporters.
We deliver the mixology experience on-site.
Our mixologists arrive with everything needed. Your supporters learn how to craft two to three drinks (cocktails or mocktails), ask questions, socialize, and enjoy.
Raise thousands of dollars for your cause.
A portion of every ticket sold is given directly to your cause. The more tickets we sell, the more money you make.
