United Against Poverty to benefit from charity during the month of February.

VERO BEACH – During the month of February United Against Poverty will benefit from “Cocktails for Charity” at Southern Social, located at 1932 14th Avenue in downtown Vero Beach.

Net proceeds from the specialty beverage, the “Unite Cocktail,” will benefit United Against Poverty throughout the entire month of February.

To launch the month-long fun, the public is invited to a kick-off Party on February 1, from 5-8 p.m. at Southern Social. United Against Poverty’s Founder and CEO, Austin Hunt, will be the guest bartender for the event.

The Unite Cocktail, created especially for the fundraiser, is hand-crafted with Four Roses bourbon, cane syrup, muddled oranges, and basil. For additional information visit upirc.org or call United Against Poverty at 772-770-0740.
