Exchange Club’s Sangarita Challenge was “UP” to so Good

The United Against Poverty UP Center took on a festive, pink flamingo glow recently, with six restaurants giving it their all during the fourth annual Sangarita Challenge hosted by the Exchange Club of Vero Beach. The club was hoping to raise upwards of $30,000 to go toward their support of child abuse prevention programs, veteran’s programs, scholarships and other service projects.

Co-chaired by club president Brian Leonard and Susan Chenault, the restaurants really turned up the heat, with each presenting their best sangria, margarita and small plate to the crowd of more than 200 guests.
