The Copper Room Cocktail Bar

Venue Partner

The 1st Lt. Derek Hines Fund activation we hosted brought incredible energy to our Saturday farmers market. We saw a 40% spike in overall foot traffic that day, and vendors told us customers were more engaged and spending longer browsing. It felt great knowing we were supporting such a meaningful cause while boosting business.

The activation brought our community together, introduced our members to quality brands they genuinely cared about, and generated meaningful additional revenue for the studio during a slower season. It's rare to find an opportunity that benefits everyone involved.
