DAVENPORT, IOWA (February 17, 2022) — The HaVlife™ Foundation is excited to announce the 2022 Martini Shake Off™ presented by IMEG Corp, will take place on Thursday, February 17, 2022, and run from 5:30-9:30PM at the RiverCenter in Davenport, Iowa.

“Just like every project we take on for our clients, we believe it’s important to leave a space better than how we found it — and that goes for the communities where we live and work, too,” says Paul VanDuyne, President and CEO of IMEG Corp. “We are incredibly thrilled to partner with the HaVlife™ Foundation in presenting this year’s 2022 Martini Shake Off™!”

At the event attendees are invited to sip on martinis, presented by local bars and restaurants and snack on delicious hors d’œuvres while listening to music by The Brat Pack. Throughout the evening, HaVlife™ Foundation Board Members will present grants to local school and youth-services organizations that work directly with the youth in our community. At the end of the night, awards will be presented in several categories including “Best Classic Martini,” “Best Shaker Space,” and “People’s Choice.”

Tickets are $65.00 and will be available at the door. All ticket proceeds will benefit the HaVlife™ Foundation, which works to prevent lost potential in today’s youth by providing grants to participate in athletics, music, and the arts.

“The focus of HaVlife™ Foundation is to positively impact at-risk you between the ages of ten to fifteen — a time in life when important paths are chosen and a child’s future is defined,” says Mike Vondran, founder of HaVlife™ Foundation. “Through our wonderful partnerships with local schools, teachers, coaches, and youth organizations, we have been able to identify and serve thousands of young people who need a little guidance and support to reach their full potential.”

In the past fourteen years, the HaVlife™ Foundation has granted over $1,200,000 locally and impacted thousands of Quad Cities youth in the area of athletics, music, and the arts.

The HaVlife™ Foundation was established in 2007 to honor Hunter Aaron Vondran, who passed away at the young age of thirteen due to injuries sustained in a tragic accident. HaVlife™ Foundation strives to prevent lost potential in youth ages ten to fifteen through support of participation in athletics, music, and the arts. We seek to allow all youth to experience life in the fullest — increasing exposure to positive community influences and enhancing the development of a positive and confident approach to citizenship.
