The Experience, Emeryville: Tipsy Putt Fundraiser

The Experience:

Get your putters ready & take a swing at hunger!

Sip, putt, enjoy a taco and help fight hunger. Tipsy Putt, Emeryville’s popular mini golf bar & restaurant, has partnered with Move for Hunger and AVE to host a golf tournament for a good cause.

The tournament, with various levels of competition, begins at 2pm on Thursday, August 17, at Tipsy Putt at Bay St to benefit Move for Hunger, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing food waste and providing meals for those in need in our community.

 Tipsy Putt will also conduct a food drive throughout the month of August, naming Move for Hunger as its Sunday FundDay recipient. For every beer and game of golf, Tipsy Putt will donate $1 to Move for Hunger during August. Sponsors are still needed for this Par-tee with a purpose fundraiser.

The Tipsy Putt bar serves up 40 taps of local craft beer including Emeryville’s own Wondrous Brewing beer, as well as tasty bites – tacos, nachos and more. Their mini golf course is challenging and great fun for groups, young ones until 5pm and 21+ after 5.  You’ll find Tipsy Putt at the north end of Bay St  across from Hyatt Place. (510) 356-8222.

Move for Hunger is a nonprofit that mobilizes delivery of  ‘rescued’ food to food banks and pantries. Their network of socially-responsible relocation companies provides their customers, clients, and residents with the opportunity to donate their food when they move.
