STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Garvey’s Irish Pub and and the GRACE Foundation have partnered to make a specialty drink and candle that will benefit the organization’s mission to better the lives of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
Folks can get a sneak tasting at the opening of the upcoming GRACE Gala Golf Outing Friday, Oct. 6 at the LaTourette Golf Course in New Springville when GRACE will launch the “GRACE’s Bliss” cocktail.
Details about the cocktail’s origins
Garvey’s Irish Pub, led by an owner, J.P. Delaney, announced the exclusive beverage named “GRACE’s Bliss.”
The creation, inspired by the French martini, offers a blend of flavors and a unique purpose: supporting The GRACE Foundation of New York.
ASD affects a significant portion of the population, with the current rate being 1 in 36. The GRACE Foundation has been a leader in making a difference in the lives of those diagnosed with ASD, offering a diverse array of programs and services to enhance the quality of life for affected individuals and their families.
The “GRACE’s Bliss” Initiative: More Than Just a Drink
The “GRACE’s Bliss” drink is more than a delicious blend, it’s a symbol of Garvey’s Pub’s commitment to celebrate uniqueness and make a difference in the ASD community.
A portion of the proceeds from the beverage directly supports GRACE’s initiatives.
Delaney said, “At Garvey’s Pub, we believe that every individual is beautifully unique, just like our ‘GRACE’s Bliss’ drink. By supporting the GRACE Foundation, we aim to celebrate these unique qualities and make a positive difference in the lives of those in the ASD community.”
In a collaboration with this initiative, GRACE has crafted an “I Can Candle” to be sold at Garvey’s. The candle complements the “GRACE’s Bliss” drink with infusions of fresh citrus and Chambord.
Cathy Del Priore, executive director of GRACE, believes that “Partnerships like these demonstrate the inspiring intersection of business and social responsibility and reflect the kind of innovative thinking that drives progress in both sectors.”
Building Bridges: A Partnership Beyond Beverages
This collaboration emerged from the “Dan on the Street” initiative and the upcoming Times Square video advertising campaign, set to launch on #givingtuesday later this year.
Dan Ryan, a representative of the campaign, said, “Creating the GRACE’s Bliss drink in conjunction with the specialty candle will continue to spread good cheer and autism acceptance. We are excited to bring ‘Dan on the Street’ and our new partnership to the Times Square Nasdaq board with a #givingtuesday GRACE campaign in November followed by a lunch and celebration drink at Garvey’s.”
