BluTender: Putting People First

Join Independence First for BluTender: Putting People "First", an unforgettable evening of cocktails, community, and philanthropy at Blu Cocktail Lounge atop Milwaukee's historic Pfister Hotel.
As part of Blu's popular BluTender fundraiser series, 10% of all bar sales and 100% of bartender tips will benefit Independence First. This year's event will help us raise funds for a new hybrid outreach vehicle that will allow our Independent Living team to better serve people with disabilities throughout southeastern Wisconsin and transport larger mobility equipment such as wheelchairs and assistive technology.
