WHO:
Pearl Social Cocktail Club, Santa Barbara, California
WHAT:
Pearl Social Cocktail Club is proud to announce that their Miracle® holiday bar, which ran from November 16, 2024 to January 1, 2025, raised $15,000 for CALM, the Santa Barbara non-profit organization that prevents and treats childhood trauma. Pearl Social Cocktail Club—the Funk Zone’s cozy and intimate speakeasy located behind The Lark—completely altered their venue into a pop-up Christmas bar during the holiday season. Miracle at Pearl Social Cocktail Club joined an international network of pop-up Christmas bars with over-the-top holiday decor, displays, music and a cocktail menu that had locals talking and flooding to take a look and clink a glass together in a collective cheer. The kooky holiday-themed cocktail vessels were part of the experience with the added opportunity of purchasing Miracle® memorabilia to take home. Proceeds were allocated for CALM.
“At Acme Hospitality, investing in our community isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are. We’re incredibly proud to support organizations like CALM, whose work is truly life-changing for children and families in Santa Barbara. No one is more deeply impacted by access to mental health services than the kids and caregivers who rely on them, and we’re beyond grateful for the incredible work CALM does every day. Miracle at Pearl Social brings so much joy to locals and visitors alike, and having the opportunity to give back in this way is an absolute honor.” states Sherry Villanueva, Founder and Managing Partner.
Miracle at Pearl Social Cocktail Club will return for the 2025 holiday season with more fun, décor, special programming and support for a local non-profit to be announced.
