​Reigning champions yet again defend title at Unicorn Children’s Foundations’ Celebrity Bartending Battle! 

Boca Raton FL – September 16th, 2016 – Unicorn Children’s Foundation is pleased to announce that our 3nd Annual Bartender’s Battle was a smash hit!  Building on the excitement of the past year, this year saw not only an increase in attendance and awareness, but also a significant increase in proceeds.  Overall, Unicorn collected nearly $40,000 to help kids with special needs excel in the community!
 
Reigning champions Bill Kruegel (Sunshine Health) and Sarah Hassan (IM HealthScience) managed to defend their title and keep the coveted first place trophy.  Felette Branch (Gucci) and Heather Shaw (Saks Fifth Avenue), Gregory Fried (Gregory’s Fine Jewelry) and Marcie Butters (Butters Construction), and Kendra Erika (Singer/Songwriter) and Julissa Caballero (Toshiba Business Solutions) all put forth a valiant effort, and despite not claiming victory, still are winners in their support of neurodiversity.  Everyone here at the Unicorn Children’s Foundation extend not only our congratulations, but also our heartfelt gratitude to all the bartenders for their participation and support. 
 
As always, the Event Center at Farmers Table was a perfect venue for this event.  They provided amazing hors d’oeuvres, fantastic room layout that this year included nice comfy couches, and staff that were not only professional, but very effective and timely in their service and help.  The entire team went above and beyond all expectations, and amazingly they completely sponsored and underwrote the event, including the space, food AND beverages.  We here at Unicorn feel very fortunate to have their support, and extend a huge shout out to Joey Giannuzzi and the rest of his team for everything they do for us!  We would also like to thank our other sponsors, organizations, and people whom contributed to the overall success of this event; Sunshine Health, Simply the Best Magazine, Eye on South Florida, iRemember Box, The Happy Printer and our wonderful Volunteers.
 
Finally, a big THANK YOU to the cross-section of South Florida’s community leaders, business professionals, philanthropists, and attendees who participated in and supported this event, and who helped make it a success!  We could not do what we do without your support.
