Join the Lake County community for a fun night out and sip on specialty spirits for a good cause! Tickets are $65.00 and include two drinks, heavy hors d’oeuvres, sweet treats and live music by Lloyd Stephens & The Brothers. Distillery tours will be provided at 6pm and 7pm.

North Shore Distillery was started by a husband and wife team who love spirits and cocktails. They use only the finest ingredients hand selected and sourced from the Midwest and beyond. Their spirts are delicious, award-winning and not possible on a mass production scale.

All proceeds from the “Bottoms Up for Babies” event will benefit the diaper bank at Twice As Nice Mother & Child, which distributes over 100,000 diapers every year to Lake County families. As a member of the National Diaper Bank Network, the organization provides help and hope to families in crisis by providing diapers at no charge so that they can keep their babies clean, dry and healthy. Diaper need affects 1 in 3 families and the poorest 20% of families spend 14% of their income on diapers. Safety net programs like food stamps and WIC do not cover diapers. A lack of clean diapers can affect the physical well-being of young children and cause considerable stress for parents. It can also prohibit families from accessing child care since many child care providers require parents to provide clean diapers for their children.

Twice As Nice Mother & Child believes that every child deserves to have enough diapers and they are committed to doing their part to close the diaper gap in Lake County. “Our goal with this event is to raise awareness about diaper need so that people will continue to support our mission of providing diapers to families that need them”, said Ann Marie Mathis, founder and executive director. “When families are unable to afford diapers for their children, they are often faced with the choice between buying diapers, paying bills or getting groceries. That is a choice that no family should have to make.”
