Doctail Mixer
An evening at Pine Lake Country Club with Michigan’s leading physicians serving as “Doctenders” — networking, cocktails and philanthropy.
About the evening
Join us for an unforgettable evening on the shores of Pine Lake Country Club at Sky Foundation’s annual Doctail Mixer, featuring this year’s vibrant Mexican Fiesta theme! Enjoy a lively summer atmosphere with handcrafted cocktails and mocktails created by our featured Doctenders, colorful décor, and an engaging night by the water — all benefiting pancreatic cancer research.
Upon arrival, guests receive a punch card to sample each signature drink while mingling with doctors and community leaders at their interactive table displays. Throughout the evening, guests can purchase donation chips to vote for their favorite Doctender and cast a separate vote for their favorite cocktail or mocktail, adding a little friendly competition to the celebration.
The evening features samples from our featured Doctenders, live Mariachi music and DJ entertainment, a taco bar, raffles and interactive voting, with a cash bar available for additional drinks.
We’re proud to partner with our presenting sponsor, Bob Schimmel, and to welcome back emcee Shannon M. Crone, President of Sky Foundation. Every sip helps fund critical breakthroughs in pancreatic cancer awareness, early detection, treatment, and survival.
Proceeds fund seed grants — the $50,000 starting awards that let a scientist turn an idea into a project competitive for national funding.
