EXTGen Detroit hosted a successful 
winter fundraiser on March 10 at the 
Whiskey Factory in Detroit. 
 “Over 200 young adults joined us at 
Distilled & Chilled, and each one of them 
made a donation to the Jewish Federation 
of Metropolitan Detroit’s 2022 Annual 
Campaign,
” said Mimi Marcus, NEXTGen 
Detroit Senior Campaign Associate and lead 
staff for the event. 
The fundraiser featured live music from 
local artists Sean Blackman, Thornetta 
Davis, Nappi Devi and Stevie Soul. It also 
included a whiskey tour and tasting for 
VIP guests and drinks from Detroit City 
Distillery’s signature spirits. 
The money raised during the Distilled 
& Chilled night out in the in the Motor 
City benefits the Jewish Federation’s 
2022 Annual Campaign. “
Almost half 
of those who came were first-time donors to the 
Campaign. It was a great event, and it was also a great 
opportunity for young adults to learn about the work of 
the Federation and make an investment in our Jewish 
community and Jewish future here in Detroit and 
around the world,
” Marcus said.
