SoBear Mocktail Mix-Off request for contestants

A sample Polar Bear mocktail from the SoBear Lounge.

The Office of Rights, Compliance and Accountability (ORCA) Prevention and Outreach Department (POD) will be hosting a mocktail fundraiser on Sept. 6 from noon to 2 p.m. Mocktail samples will be available for purchase by the community at $1 per sample or $10 for all samples. All proceeds will go to future prevention efforts and programming like SoBear Lounges. The event will take place in the Wood Center, Mall Area (First Floor).

ORCA POD kindly requests the assistance of UAF departments to help with this event. Departments are asked to donate their favorite, cleverly-named mocktail recipe and mocktail supplies. Supplies should include enough samples to serve roughly 50 people (3 gallons). Tables and serving containers will be provided.

Departments are encouraged to use this opportunity to connect with students, staff and faculty about their services. Participating departments are welcome to bring their marketing materials and merchandise.

The department with the most popular drink will win the 2024 Mocktail Mix-Off Award! They will be featured on ORCA POD’s Instagram and showcased during the SoBear Festival (Sept. 19-21).

If you are interested in participating, please complete ORCA POD’s registration form on Nanook Engage.
