Gaz Regan Launches
"Just One Shift"
Gaz Regan, the bartender formerly known as Gary
Regan, has launched Just One Shift, a plan to raise
a $250,000 for charity in a one-week time period by
inviting bartenders worldwide to donate all or part
of their tips from one shift. The 2013 program is
scheduled for Mon. April 8 through Sun. April 14.
Just One Shift's beneficiary this year will be Wine to Water (www.
winetowater.org), a nonprofit organization founded by ex-bartender
Doc Hendley that focuses on providing clean water to needy people
worldwide. All of the program proceeds will go to the charity.
The aim is to engage 2,500 bartenders, with each being able to raise
$100, in order to reach the $250,000 mark. Bartenders that want to take
part should sign up at www.justoneshift.com.
Just One Shift will maintain a running list of participating bars sorted
by city, as well as a calendar of shifts. At the end of the given shift, the
bartender will make the donation online.
Companies can also purchase logo placement on JustOneShift.com,
and anyone may donate to the program online.
"For years I've been telling everyone who'll listen that bartenders
can change the world," said Regan, who is also an author and one of the
founders of The Institute for Mindful Bartending. "Together with the exbartender who founded Wine to Water, we're about to prove it."
