Press Release from Savannah To-Go: Sips at the Station celebrates heroes for Hallie Grace and launches new to-go cup

Edited ByHeike Currie

Partners of Savannah’s popular networking series, Sips at the Station, announce their June fundraising event will include the official launch of the newest sustainable Savannah To-Go Cup; a design commemorating summer in Savannah. The media and Savannah community are invited to join Tuesday, June 18, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Ardsley Station.

Hosted by Simply Savannah Marketing, Savannah Master Calendar and Ardsley Station, Tuesday’s Sips at the Station will benefit Heroes for Hallie Grace, a nonprofit with a mission to raise awareness, fund important research, and improve the quality of life for individuals and families impacted by Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) in Hallie's memory. Attendees are asked to contribute a $10 donation. Admission includes a complimentary beverage from Ardsley Station’s special bar menu, an assortment of unique, off-menuhors d'oeuvres, and live entertainment. Raffle tickets are also available for purchase, and 100 percent of proceeds from admission and raffle sales go to Heroes for Hallie Grace.

In addition, June’s event will double as the official release of the fourth Savannah To-Go Cup, designed by local artist Melanie Brustad. Spearheaded by the Savannah Downtown Business Association, this popular sustainable initiative is the first of its kind in the country and is dedicated to working with local Savannah businesses, artists, and community members by offering a zero-waste aluminum cup that is reusable, collectible, and made from 100% recycled materials. The cups are available for bulk purchase from the SDBA for resale to the general public.

To pre-register and skip the line, tickets are available for purchase through Eventbrite. Additional event information can be found on the event Facebook page. The launch announcement will occur at 6 p.m.; typical event flow will then resume with Heroes for Hallie Grace and the raffle drawing to take place around 6:40 p.m. Ardsley Station is located at 102 E. Victory Drive and offers a spacious covered patio, as well as ample parking. Networking begins at 5:30 p.m., and all are invited!
