Stoli® Vodka Serves Pride for the Seventh Annual LGBTQ+ Key West Cocktail Classic
Stoli® Vodka announced today the widely anticipated return of its Stoli Key West Cocktail Classic for the seventh year in partnership with the City of Key West and the Key West Business Guild. Bartenders and LGBTQ+ allies across the country will come together to compete in a cocktail competition to win a variety of prizes including $15,000 for a hometown charity of the winner's choice, a dream vacation to anywhere in the world, arranged by HE Travel, and the coveted title of the 2020 SKWCC Champion. All monetary, charity donations and travel prizes to be provided courtesy of the KWBG.
"The Key West Business Guild along with the City of Key West and our vibrant LGBTQ+ community will roll out the rainbow carpet during Key West's 2020 Pride Week Celebration, June 1 – 8, to welcome the 7th Annual SKWCC. The KWBG is extremely grateful for the continued support Stoli provides to our local charities and the LGBTQ+ community, locally, nationally and worldwide," said Chuck Licis, Board President Key West Business Guild.
The theme for this year's SKWCC is "The Stolimpics," and will feature "Stolimpians" ages 21+ who will be tasked with creating exceptional cocktails inspired by the people, places and things that make their hometown worthy of a gold medal. The competition will travel to 14 cities across the country where one winner from each city will receive an eight-day trip to compete in the SKWCC at the Key West Pride Week Finale June 1-8, courtesy of the KWBG.
"For more than 35 years, Stoli has celebrated gay bars as the original safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community. We are committed to championing these community centers and the individuals who are central to advancing them," said Patrik Gallineaux, Stoli Vodka National LGBTQ+ Ambassador and Manager. "I am thrilled to report that through this initiative, Stoli has had the opportunity to positively impact LGBTQ+ supportive non-profits across North America, with more than $120,000 awarded to LGBTQ+ charities to date."...
