Now Serving: Sofia Mini Sparkling Blanc de Blancs

SOFIA MINI is simply a revolution in enjoying the elegance of sparkling wine. Instead of a bottle, SOFIA MINI comes in a recyclable petite pink can--holding 187 ml, or one forth of a bottle. This portable pleasure chills quickly and there is no worry over breakage or special glassware needed. Made from a blend of Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat Canelli, SOFIA MINI dances on the palate with expressive pear, apple, citrus, and honey notes. Aromatically unique and delicately effervescent, this wine is cool and refreshing. 

SOFIA MINI is a perfect compliment to Get Canned and we are excited to serve it to you. For more information, please check out  www.sofiamini.com

Wear a Work of Art

Another additon to our growing list of luxury raffle items for Get Canned is this Kale Miles artisanal belt: the Modernist.

Kale Miles's platform and philosophy can be broken down into three features: design, materials, and hand finishing. These pieces grow richer with time.

  

Fine art isn't created by machines or mass production. Originality is not rushed. This is the luxury of Kale Miles. For additional styles and accessories, check out their website, www.kalemiles.com 

AKA Cool

We are excited to announce that Get Canned will be raffling off two pairs of AKA Culture's Valenki boots at the event. For more information on Valenki, please visit www.akaculture.com

Considered by many to be the 'next Uggs,' Valenki snow boots have been part of Russian soldiers' uniforms for the over 300 years. Made of 100% organic wool, not only do the Valenki withstand sub-zero temperatures, but they also promote blood circulation in the feet. 

These trendy, yet practical woolen boots are the first product in AKA Culture's fall/winter fashion line. While the removable rubber overshoes protect Valenki from the elements and the warm lining forms to the feet, the wide variety of available colors distinguishes AKA Valenki as a leader in this season's footwear category. 

They Say, "It's Not Fitness. It's Life."

Economy got you down? We all know exercise helps you feel better physically and mentally. What better way to stay at the top of your game and get ready for your next adventure, professional or otherwise, than to workout? 

Equinox has signed on as a partner of Get Canned and has donated goodies for our gift bags and raffle, including complimentary membership passes.

In addition, Equinox personal trainers will be on-site in our Elevation Lounge to answer any questions about how to get the most of your exercise regime so you can feel confident at your next interview or when you escape to warmer weather!

Get Canned Goes Orange

Get Canned has accepted the challenge to raise funds to support the Food Bank for New York City's annual NYC Goes Orange campaign. NYC Goes Orange brings together corporate, media, and individual partners to raise awareness and funds to help the Food Bank end hunger in New York City.  

We have set up a Virtual Food Drive donation page to make it easier for you to make a difference.  All donations are tax deductible. 

If you prefer to send a check, you can do so using the following address:

Attn: Suzanne Hogan Go Orange Online

Food Bank for New York City

39 Broadway, 10th Floor

New York, NY 10006

*Please make all checks payable to Food Bank for New York City*

Whatever you can give, it adds up! We will keep you posted on our goal to raise $5,000.00 before Get Canned, Tuesday, December 16th. You can also click here to keep up to date with our progress. 

Orange is the color for hunger awareness. We hope you can join us in our fight against hunger by making NYC Go Orange!

Get Canned Has a Home!

We have chosen the club e l e m e n t as the venue for Get Canned:

225 East Houston Street 

@ Essex Street

New York, NY 10002

Located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, e l e m e n t was originally built as a bank in the late 1800's. Redesigned with multiple levels, state of the art sound system, and a VIP mezzanine for our Elevation Lounge, we are excited to have found the perfect location to host all that we are planning!

Let's Work Together to End Hunger

Food Bank for New York City has signed on to partner with Get Canned to collect canned goods to feed hungry New Yorkers. Food Bank for New York City has been recognized for the last 25 years as the city's major hunger-relief organization.  

There are more than three million New Yorkers who have difficulty affording food - an astounding number and one that continues to increase as the donated food supply drops to an all-time low and energy and fuel costs skyrocket. 

You CAN make a difference. 

In lieu of a $10 admission fee to Get Canned, all guests who bring 2 cans of non-perishable food will be given complimentary admittance to the event. 

The top ten most needed items are: canned beans, milk, fruit, vegetables, juice, meat, fish, soup, stew and peanut butter.
