Sip & Give Is on Hiatus

sipandgive — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 19:17:40 +0000

Hey Sip & Givers! I know you’re anxious to know about the next Sip & Give benefit. Unfortunately, like most of you, we’ve had to juggle other aspects of life, like work, and we’re on a brief hiatus. However, no worries, we’ll be back in April with a great event for Chicago Voyagers. So mark your calendars for Tuesday, April 26 and stay tuned for details.

Also, we have a new intern helping out with Sip & Give, and I’m getting her settled in. You can’t miss Brittany, she’s almost as enthusiastic as I am!

In the meantime, we invite you to take a short survey so we can learn more about what you like about Sip & Give.

Be well!

Big Thanks!

A huge thanks to everyone who made it down to Grami Chicago (the former Beagle) to celebrate my 10 years in business and to help raise money and awareness of Bundle of Joy Diaper Bank. I just couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate!

Did you know that those in need cannot purchase diapers with food stamps? Even human service agencies are reliant on diaper banks to help their clients!

So, please go to their site and make a donation. I also encourage you to follow us and all of our charities on Facebook and Twitter! And if you like what we do, please spread the word!

We’re taking a break in February, but we’ll see you March 29. Save-the-date!

Be well!

Holiday Wishes from Sip & Give

sipandgive — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 16:55:44 +0000

As I sit and reflect on the last year, or so, from creation of Sip & Give to our one-year anniversary, I am grateful for the opportunity to bring people together in the spirit of community and business. And, I hope you will all spread the word. It benefits us all.

At a time when many nonprofits are suffering a decrease in government funding and a lack in funding in general, you have all come together to network, learn and support. Each day I have the unique opportunity to introduce all of you to the truly special nonprofits in our community doing great work for our neighbors. In turn, not only did some of you give back really BIG, but many of you have become volunteers with these organizations.

As many of you know, Sip & Give is something that fills my heart. It is 100% volunteer for me and I rely on many people to help where they can. While I begin to plan for the New Year and take account of those who would like Sip & Give in their own community, I know that I will rely on volunteers to assist in the group’s growth here in Chicago, and beyond. Thanks to you all, and if you’d like to become more involved, please contact me.

Some incredible stories have come from Sip & Give and I’m looking forward to more connections and opportunities being built between individuals. Got a story to share? I want to hear from you!

In the meantime, in the spirit of giving this season, I hope that you will consider making your year-end donation to one of the groups we’ve worked with over the last year. You can find informational links on how to donate on our “Cool Links” page.

Don’t forget to join us Tuesday, January 25, 2011 for the next Sip & Give Networking Benefit, a diaper drive with Bundle of Joy Diaper Bank and our friend Jud of Bin Donated -details to come.

I wish you all the happiest of holidays and success in the year to come, and leave you with this thought:

“We make a living by what we get,
but we make a life by what we give.”
~Winston Churchill~

Be well,
