The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, Northern Texas Chapter, hosted the Sixth Annual Craft Cocktail Competition on Sept. 10 at the Ostreum in Fort Worth. Guests and a panel of celebrity judges were invited to try cocktails crafted by local bars and restaurants and vote for their favorite to be named the “Best Craft Cocktail in Cowtown.” The Judges Choice award winner was Omari (Mars) Anderson, who represented Nickel City and crafted his cocktail with Roxor Gin, and the People’s Choice award winner was Julia Breeland, representing Dirty Laundry, who crafted her cocktail with Blackland Whiskey. Three individuals were honored and shared their inspiring stories: Honored Hero - Avery Anderson; Physician of the Year for Pediatrics - Dr. Samson Cantu of Cook Children’s Medical Center; and Annette Cox, Volunteer of the Year for Fort Worth. There was a raffle, silent and live auction, delicious food from Magdalena’s, live music from IronVine, and a cigar roller. Over $204,000 was raised for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation and its mission to cure Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases.
