“It’s a good cause and I figure that every little bit that we can raise helps,” he said.
“We’ve created a special cocktail for the campaign, which is a margarita with blue curacao, which gives it a twist.”
The WA 2017 UGLY Bartender of the Year winner will be announced after November 14 with a travel voucher up for grabs for the top fundraiser, and additional prizes for the overall winner’s venue.
Since the fundraising campaign was launched in WA during 2009, more than $1 million has been raised, with every $80 raised providing one night’s accommodation for people facing the challenges of blood cancer.
