A few weeks ago, Blind Tiger donated beverages for Broadway on the Bay, benefiting the Erie City Mission.
I'm always happy to support organizations I believe in. I can't attend every event, and as a growing business, I certainly can't write a check for everything. Sometimes donating product is simply my way of giving back to causes that matter to me.
Whenever we participate or donate product to events, I always ask if anyone can send photos afterward because we love sharing them on social media (because building a national brand takes a village and as some of you know I like to catalog this journey 🤣 ).
However, these were not the photos I expected.
Ivan Rutherford who has performed Jean Valjean in Les Misérables more than 2,300 times, and Jackie Burns, Broadway's longest-running Elphaba in WICKED on Broadway, enjoying Blind Tiger.
Building a brand is a lot of things.
Receiving unexpected photos of Broadway stars enjoying your product was not on my bingo card for 2026.
A sincere thank you to , and the for allowing Blind Tiger to be a small part of the evening.
Sometimes supporting your community comes back in unexpected ways.
