Bloomington, Indiana – For the past month, visitors to The Elm have had a chance to turn happy hour into something even more meaningful. From July 23 to August 23, each Tito’s Handmade Vodka specialty cocktail purchased at the venue has meant a $1 donation to PALS, with the campaign aiming to raise up to $5,000 to support the organization’s programs.
The initiative, a collaboration between PALS, The Elm, and Tito’s, combines a love for great cocktails with a drive to give back. Every drink purchased during the event period has contributed directly to helping fund PALS’ work, which focuses on community support and outreach.
Organizers say the effort has been a success so far—and they’re closing it out in style. On Thursday, August 22, The Elm will host a finale party designed to bring people together for one last celebration of the cause. The evening will include games, raffle prizes, swag giveaways, and, of course, plenty of signature cocktails.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Tito’s and The Elm to raise funds to support our programs—and we’re ending this month-long celebration with a bang!” the organizers shared.
Guests are encouraged to bring friends, enjoy a drink, and take part in the festivities while knowing their participation is making a difference. The finale will serve as both a fundraiser and a thank-you to the community for helping make the campaign a success.
With the combination of lively entertainment, specialty drinks, and the chance to give back, the event promises to be more than just another night out. As PALS notes, each purchase counts toward programs that have a real impact—making it possible for attendees to enjoy themselves while supporting a cause that matters.
Mark your calendar for August 22 and join the celebration at The Elm. Whether you come for the cocktails, the games, or the camaraderie, it’s an evening built on the simple idea that doing good can be as enjoyable as it is important.
