Somewhere in the world, it’s cocktail hour. For members of MARTINI:20, that hour begins with the syncopated rhythm of ice hitting metal. The resulting chilled emulsion is then poured into a stemmed glass, olives are added, toasts are made and that first pungent sip makes everything else fade away.

It was over a number of these iconic cocktails that the idea of founding MARTINI:20 came around. It will be a social club, they determined, made up of tastemakers who will seek out the city’s best parties and events to attend and support.

And because members of MARTINI:20 always believe the glass is half full, the club will also sponsor and host charity functions where 100 percent of the proceeds will be given to the chosen cause.

One hundred percent. It’s a goal as bracing as the legendary elixir that lends us our name. How will we do this? By tapping into community resources and encouraging the kindness of friends and colleagues. Join us to see how your talents, passion and energy can help make a better place to live, not just party.
 
Lauren’s grandfather said, “All the money in the world cannot solve problems, unless we work together. And if we work together, there is no problem in the world that can stop us as we seek to develop people to their highest potential.”

We’ll drink to that!
