Everyone who donates will receive a special Cosmopolitan Edition Cocktail Kit
Box on the Rocks, which has taken the cocktail kit subscription industry by storm since their launch earlier this year, has partnered with the The Original Modern Mixologist, Tony Abou-Ganim and The Helen David Relief Fund (an extension to the USBG Charitable Foundation) to raise money benefiting bartenders and their families affected by breast cancer.
Everyone who donates (no matter the amount) to The Helen David Relief Fund through November 15, 2021 will receive a special Cosmopolitan Edition Cocktail Kit courtesy of Box on the Rocks. The kit includes ingredients to make 3 different recipes. The Hero Cocktail recipe makes a Cosmopolitan, a secondary recipe makes the French Hibiscus 75 and a bonus recipe for a Mocktail. Each kit is designed to make 10+ hero drinks.

“We are honored to team up with Tony and The Helen David Relief Fund to support bartenders and their families who have been impacted by breast cancer,” said Kim Gouch, co-owner of Box on the Rocks. “It’s incredible to see an entire industry come together to help make a difference.”
The Helen David Relief Fund honors the memory of Abou-Ganim’s cousin Helen David, the beloved Port Huron, Michigan bar owner and community leader. Beating breast cancer twice during her lifetime, Helen was an inspiration to those living with the disease.
“I started the HDRF not only to keep Helen’s memory alive and to raise funds to benefit bartenders battling cancer but also to inspire bartenders to take better care of their own personal health and wellbeing,” said Tony Abou-Ganim.
As part of the USBG (United States Bartenders’ Guild) Charitable Foundation, the HDRF assists those in the bar industry who are fighting breast, and other forms of cancer with the same dignity and courage that Helen exemplified throughout her battle and life as a pioneer business owner in the bar industry.
