We’re thrilled to invite you and your friends to the Center for People's inaugural edition of the Battle of the Bartenders - a signature fundraising event benefiting the Center for People.

Watch some of Lincoln’s favorite local bartenders go head-to-head as they craft their best signature cocktails and mocktails, all competing for the title of Top Bartender. You’ll sip, sample, and cast your vote while enjoying an evening full of energy, connection, and community spirit.

This isn’t just a night out - it’s a night that makes an impact.

Join us for great drinks, delicious food, live music, a paddle raise, and a lively atmosphere - all in support of individuals and families served by the Center for People. Every dollar raised helps provide critical programs and services that strengthen our community and create pathways to stability and opportunity.
