Join us for an unforgettable evening on the shores of Pine Lake Country Club at Sky Foundation’s annual Doctail Mixer, featuring this year’s vibrant Mexican Fiesta theme! Enjoy a lively summer atmosphere with handcrafted cocktails and mocktails created by our featured Doctenders, colorful décor, and an engaging night by the water — all benefiting pancreatic cancer research.

Upon arrival, guests will receive a punch card to sample each signature drink while mingling with doctors and community leaders at their interactive table displays. Throughout the evening, guests can purchase donation chips to vote for their favorite Doctender and cast a separate vote for their favorite cocktail or mocktail, adding a little friendly competition to the celebration.

Every sip helps fund critical breakthroughs in pancreatic cancer awareness, early detection, treatment, and survival. Come sip, celebrate, and make a meaningful impact for an important cause.

We are thrilled to welcome back our 2025 Doctail Mixer emcee, Shannon M. Crone.

Shannon (pictured left) serves as President of Sky Foundation, Inc., and we’re especially grateful that she travels from her home in Ohio each year to be part of this special evening. Her leadership, warmth, and passion for Sky’s mission continue to make a lasting impact.

Shannon’s connection to pancreatic cancer is deeply personal. Her husband was diagnosed and passed away just three short weeks later — a heartbreaking loss that fuels her commitment to raising awareness and advancing research.

Outside of her work with Sky, Shannon is an accomplished triathlete who channels both emotional and physical strength into everything she does. Her resilience and dedication are an inspiration, and we are honored to have her helping lead this evening.
