Lakewood Ranch's Michelle Cross wanted to give back to the community, so she joined the Cheers for Charity Giving Circle.
She just didn't know she would be serving the community drinks.
Cross was just one of the Cheers for Charity guest bartenders who worked during their Summer in the Keys fundraising event July 26 at 3 Keys Brewing and Eatery in Bradenton.
"I am having so much fun," Cross said. "I got to pour a lot of beer."
A percentage of the sales went to charity and the fundraiser also included a raffle, a tropical photo booth and a disc jockey.
The proceeds went to the Visible Men Academy, Family Network on Disabilities, The Mark Wandall Foundation and Vintage Paws.
"This is where we get the majority of our funding," said Cheers for Charity member Annie Breitinger. "It is also a great way to meet potential new members."
