On the Bar: Beverages with a Cause
A lot of companies talk about giving back to the environment or to needy causes, but talk is not enough. Action is what is needed. At Volt, the BizBash After Party, we worked with and supported two very innovative and action-oriented beverage purveyors: Tru Organic Vodka from the Greenbar Collective and ONEHope Wine who are raising the bar, so to speak, on drinking for a cause.
About Tru...
Tru is the first certified organic vodka made from American wheat AND made in Los Angeles by Modern Spirits, an acclaimed artisan vodka maker. From field to bottle TRU is free of chemicals that can contaminate the land and leech into ground water. The makers limit ecological impact in a variety of ways. They also, and this is our fave, plant a tree for every bottle sold working through organizations such as Sustainable Harvest International. What we can tell from the Volt event, event professionals are now responsible for an entire new forest!
About ONEHope...
In a short period of time, ONEHope Wine has become one of the most recognizable "cause brands" in the United States. In three years, it's become the socially conscious wine of choice for such high-profile events as the Grammys, The American Red Cross Gala and the Sundance Film Festival.
ONEHope donates 50 percent of its profits to a wide range or charity organizations and has raised more than $275,000 to date. And in 2010, it launched the ONEHope Foundation, an umbrella to worthy causes and organizations, giving ONEHope the ability to partner with for-profit groups for increased benefits to non-profits.
And, while not everything at the bar is guilt-free, at least any bar food served on VerTerra dinnerware will be! VerTerra makes environmentally-friendly plates, bowls and serving dishes using only two ingredients: fallen leaves and water. They're non-toxic, biodegradable, compostable, durable, lightweight, convenient and beautiful. In fact, they are so stylish it's hard to believe they are single use.
With all that is going on in the world today, Good Gracious! Events feels strongly about giving back anyway we can. We love the message these companies send and are always proud to serve and use them and share their story.
To them we say: Cheers!
