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.
