Ironwood Cider House, in partnership with Limited Distilling, is hosting a cocktail competition and silent auction to support Women’s History Month.

Proceeds from the Cocktails for a Cause auction will go to Gillian’s Place women’s shelter.

The fundraiser will be held at Ironwood Cider House on March 31 at 6:30 p.m., with live music by Riley Michaels.

Richard Liu, owner of Ironwood, said it’s important to him to support women survivors who face gender-based violence.

Gillian’s Place is a shelter for those experiencing abuse. The team at the shelter provides in-person or over-the-phone support services.

The cocktail contest is open to anyone who wants to put their concoctions to the test. Participants can sign up when they arrive at the event.

The cocktail competition starts at 7 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased online for $30 at ironwoodcider.ca.

Guests are asked to keep their online receipt as proof of purchase to the event.
