Today marks the beginning of Eschelon Experiences second Month of Giving campaign.

Eschelon will partner with Band Together NC to raise funds for non-profits in the Triangle area of North Carolina. Throughout the month of April, guests dining at Eschelon restaurants Mura @ North Hills, The Oxford, Zinda New Asian, Cameron Bar & Grill, Faire Steak & Seafood, and Basan Bull City Sushi are encouraged to donate by adding $1 or more to their bill at the end of their meal.

To start the Month of Giving, Eschelon announced the return of its Celebrity Bartender event series. Taking place at Faire Steak & Seafood April 1, guests will watch their favorite local “celebrities” pour their hearts out behind the bar alongside the Faire bar staff.

Ten percent of bar proceeds from the evening will be donated to Band Together NC. Local celebrities include:

  • Penn Holderness of Greenroom Communications
  • Ricky Bugel and Blake Christiana from Yarn
  • Van Eure from Angus Barn
  • G Patel from Eschelon Experiences
  • Sam Madison and Jeff Holshouser of Hank Sinatra
  • Mary Ann Baldwin of Raleigh City Council
  • Bonner Gaylord of Raleigh City Council & North Hills

“A crowd-favorite event at Zinda, we’re thrilled to announce the return of Celebrity Bartender to a new location at Faire,” says Gaurav “G” Patel, founder and president of Eschelon Experiences. “What better way to give back to the community than with good food and good people.”
