The recent Melanated Melon Presents: Sip & Swing Fundraiser at Top Golf in Charlotte was a resounding success, bringing together a lively crowd for an evening filled with heartwarming memories, golfing and delightful sips. The atmosphere was electric with anticipation as guests mingled and enjoyed the elegant setup.


Highlights of the Evening:

Heartfelt Honorable Mentions:


The evening was a poignant reminder of the cause behind the event. We honored the memories of children like Everett Burroughs and Eden Blount, who have lost their lives to cancer. Their bravery and spirit continue to inspire us.

We also celebrated the strength and progress of cancer warrior, Aubree Cerutti. Her journey is a testament to courage and resilience, and she reminds us why we come together for events like the annual Sip & Swing.


Delectable Food:


The food was another standout feature of the evening. Guests indulged in a variety of heavy hors derves, from savory sliders, vibrant salads and decadent desserts. The culinary delights perfectly complemented the evening’s festivities, leaving everyone satisfied and impressed.


Signature Sips:


Guests were treated to an array of signature cocktails and mocktails, expertly crafted to complement the swinging vibes. The bartenders didn’t just serve drinks; they created experiences with every pour.


Golfing Fun:


Top Golf provided a unique twist to the event, with guests enjoying rounds of golf in between food and sipping. The blend of sports and entertainment added a dynamic element to the evening.


Community Connection:


And finally the Sip & Swing wasn’t just about golfing and drinks; it was a celebration of community and the memories of those gone to soon. We believe our Melon Mates “our babies” would want us to celebrate life and have joy in our hearts, even in their absence, and that is what we intend to do. The event brought together diverse groups of people and professions, fostering connections and creating new friendships.

For those who couldn’t attend or want to relive the magic, check out the main event video on YouTube. It beautifully captures the essence of the evening and showcases the best moments.


Final Thoughts:


The Sip & Swing was more than an event; it was an experience that left everyone looking forward to the next one. Thank you to all who attended and made the night unforgettable. Thank you again to our Champion Sponsor, Gary Blount of Terrier Financial and others who continue to stand in soldiarity with us. Stay tuned for future events that promise to bring even more joy and connection.
