Cocktails for a Cause
Sip. Support. Strengthen.
Starting June 1st, we’re kicking off Cocktails for a Cause, our monthly community giveback spotlighting local organizations creating real impact. Every month brings a fresh cause, a featured cocktail, and another reason to raise your glass. Order our featured drink, and we’ll donate a portion of the proceeds directly to the highlighted organization.
We’re proud to call Northwest Indiana our second home—and even prouder to champion the people who make it stronger. From youth programs and education to animal rescue and community outreach, this initiative is our way of giving back to the changemakers right here in our backyard.
Because it’s not just about cocktails—it’s about community. It’s about showing up, raising a glass, and supporting the meaningful work happening all around us.
Reserve your table today at our Three Oaks or Valparaiso locations and sip to support!

JULY: KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA, VALPO
A 501(c)3 Indiana service sorority founded in 1901 to raise funds for charity, culture and education.
Tri Kappas are generous spirits and give countless hours each month organizing the chapter in various committees and subcommittees as well as doing community outreach. Some service comes in the form of cooking or baking to show appreciation, while craftier members make fleece blankets and puppy pillows for the Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis. Other members volunteer time weekly to read to children at the Hilltop House childcare program. As a group, we sponsor programs to benefit the community, such as an annual presentation from Holocaust survivor Eva Mozes Korr at VHS and a 2014 presentation of Half the Sky at VU’s first annual MLK Week Diversity Program.

AUGUST: LAKESHORE PAWS
Raising a glass for Lakeshore PAWS—a volunteer-driven, nonprofit rescue in Valparaiso, Indiana, dedicated to finding loving homes for abandoned and unwanted dogs throughout Northwest Indiana. Since its founding in 2011, Lakeshore PAWS has helped over 8,200 dogs find their forever families, guided by values of compassion, community, advocacy, and results. With a 98.8% save rate in 2024, they provide medical care, behavioral support, and a second chance to dogs in need.
Order our featured cocktail this month, and a portion of proceeds will support their mission—because every dog deserves a home.
