This Girl Walks Into A Bar / This Girl Mixers
Started in 2010, founders and sisters Jordan & Jocelyn created This Girl Walks Into A Bar, a boutique bartending company, to offer a white-glove service to residents and businesses looking for skilled, professional, and friendly bartenders. The company and its sister enterprise, This Girl Mixers, offer a range of products including custom bartending, alcoholic drink mixes, snacks, and more. The team has collaborated with over 140 local bartenders who rely on This Girl Walks Into A Bar to connect them with opportunities to mix drinks and liven up parties.
Due to the fires in the Pacific Palisades, This Girl Walks Into A Bar’s bartending equipment, uniforms, mixology tools, and supplies were lost, forcing the business to close its doors. However, This Girl Mixers fortunately shipped its largest production to date to a nearby facility just weeks before the fires, preserving the majority of its product and keeping the business afloat. The companies’ founders are now focusing on This Girl Mixes as they regroup, support each other, and rebuild their family business.
BoxUnion
BoxUnion is an LA-based full-body workout that blends boxing, HIIT, strength, energy, community and, of course, your favorite music. Classes encourage guests ranging from beginners to experienced enthusiasts to put on their gloves, find their flow, and let their inner fighter out. BoxUnion offers its 45-minute classes at three locations: Santa Monica, Robertson, and Sherman Oaks.
Both of BoxUnion’s founders, Felicia and Todd, lost their homes to the LA wildfires, as did many of the company’s members. As they began to rebuild their lives, they also used BoxUnion as a tool to support other impacted residents, including offering clubs for showers, workouts, or retail space, replacing members’ destroyed gloves, and offering free classes for evacuees and first responders and their families – those who may need a positive outlet to relieve their emotions most.
