A Toast to Community:

This Bartender Battle carries a special purpose beyond the competition. A portion of the day’s beverage sales will be donated to support CRG’s Bar Development Manager, Julio Medina, as he undergoes treatment for cancer. We invite you to join us in standing by a cherished member of our community.
