On June 11, 2025, Toronto hosted a gathering where elegance, culture, and social impact came together in a single glass. Sip, Savour & Support, organized by GEM Mentorship in collaboration with Eleva Imports, brought together a community of leaders, creatives, and philanthropists at 129 St Clair Ave W, with one clear goal: to raise funds for scholarships that change lives.

A Night with Meaning

The atmosphere was intimate, vibrant, and unmistakably elevated. Every detail, from the music selection to the curated drinks, was designed to celebrate purpose through experience.

The tequila tasting, led by expert Adriana Martínez, founder of Eleva Imports, became a journey through the spirit of Mexico. It was more than a tasting, it was a masterclass in identity, artisanal craftsmanship, and liquid sophistication.
