As the summer heat sets in, it's time to raise your glass and make a difference as Madelyn's Fund kicks off its annual #DrinkPinkCLT campaign! Running from May 24th to June 30th, this beloved initiative invites the Charlotte community to support local NICU families while enjoying delicious beverages at participating establishments.
The #DrinkPinkCLT campaign features a wide array of drink options to suit every palate. Whether you're a wine enthusiast, a cocktail connoisseur, or a health-conscious smoothie lover, there's something pink and perfect just for you. Each participating restaurant, bar, and brewery in the Charlotte area has crafted special pink-themed menu items, ensuring that there's a delightful way for everyone to join the cause.
By choosing designated #DrinkPinkCLT beverages, patrons will directly contribute to Madelyn’s Fund. A portion of the sales from these items will be donated to support NICU patients, their families, and those affected by infant loss. This fund plays a crucial role in providing financial assistance for medical expenses, transportation, and essential needs during what can be one of the most challenging times for families.
So, mark your calendars and make plans to visit your favorite Charlotte spots. Enjoy a refreshing pink drink and take pride in knowing that your sip is part of a larger effort to bring hope and assistance to families in need. Cheers to good drinks and a great cause!
