Sip & Carols
for our Youth!
Sip & Carols is a remarkable event that combines the elegance of wine with the joy of holiday carols, all for a noble cause – raising money for youth and sports. Originally started around 2000 as "Sip" by Brother United, a group of four men who sang to benefit the Moffitt Cancer Society during Christmas, the event was reimagined in 2020 to support our youth. Join us for a festive evening filled with warmth, music, and the spirit of giving.
