Cocktails For A Cause: Firefly Vodka teams up with the Spa at Charleston Place to increase melanoma awareness

The "I Will Reflect" campaign aims to increase awareness about prevention and early melanoma detection throughout Charleston.

The Spa at Charleston Place and Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka will team up in support of melanoma awareness and skin cancer research on Thursday, December 2nd at Cocktails for a Cause.

The soiree cocktail party is part of the “I Will Reflect” Melanoma Awareness and Prevention Initiative to help educate Charleston residents about the dangers of melanoma and tips for prevention. 

The event will include the unveiling of a signature Spa at Charleston Place Firefly Cocktail, a silent auction featuring one-of-a-kind experiences and items, signature nail polish change and more. All proceeds from the ticket sales and auction will benefit the Medical University of South Carolina Foundation’s Department of Dermatology. 

The Spa at Charleston Place and Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka have a fundraising goal of $5,000 for the event. If the goal is met, Firefly co-founder Scott Newitt and his wife will donate an additional $2,500 to the cause. 

Cocktails for a Cause will begin at 5:30 p.m. at The Spa at Charleston Place. Cost of admission is $25 per person and a limited number of tickets will be made available to the public. For more information or to purchase tickets call The Spa at Charleston Place call (843) 937-8522 or email spa@charlestonplace.com.

The Spa at Charleston Place’s “I Will Reflect” initiative is part of a worldwide cause founded by SpaFinder in response to the fact that nearly every hour one American dies of melanoma, yet early detection increases a person’s survival rate significantly. In its third year, the campaign has expanded its efforts to create widespread awareness about prevention and early melanoma detection throughout Charleston.
