Lee Association for Remarkable Citizens (LARC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), is shaking things up with its first-ever Shaken, Stirred & Served fundraiser. This exciting Celebrity Bartender and Server Challenge will take place on Sunday, April 27, from 4 – 7 p.m. at Nevermind Awesome Bar & Eatery, located at 927 Cape Coral Parkway East, Cape Coral.

Local celebrity bartenders and servers will step behind the bar and hit the floor–competing to see who can raise the most tips in support of LARC’s mission. 100% of all tips go directly to LARC, helping individuals with disabilities live their fullest lives.

It’s Bartenders vs. Servers–Who will bring in the most bucks? Bring your friends, your thirst, and your generosity. Every dollar tipped makes a difference!

Our celebrity guests are ready to compete, and we hope the community will come out to tip big and make a meaningful impact. Supporters can also donate in advance toward the celebrity’s tip jar.”
