A local business is shaking things up—literally—for a good cause.
On Wednesday, April 22, Fourteensixteen will host a unique evening where the team from Grizz Pest Management, Inc. steps behind the bar for a special guest bartending event.
From 6:00–8:00 PM, guests can enjoy signature Grizz cocktails and flatbreads (available for purchase) while supporting a meaningful cause. Instead of their usual tools of the trade, Grizz’s crew will be swapping insect sprayers for cocktail shakers—bringing a fun, lighthearted twist to the night.
Founded in 2017, Grizz Pest Management is a family-owned company rooted in the western suburbs, known for combining scientific expertise with a strong commitment to the communities they serve. That community focus is on full display with this event.
All cash tips from the evening will be donated to Bark From the Heart Rescue, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping dogs in need across the La Grange area. The organization provides rescue intake, medical care, training, and support services—working to place animals into safe, loving homes while also assisting families facing pet-related emergencies.
Behind the bar, you’ll find:
- Colin Novinger, Grizz Technician
- Larry Mann, Service Manager
Events like this highlight what makes the local business community special—collaboration, creativity, and a shared commitment to giving back.
Whether you’re stopping in for a drink, a bite, or simply to support the cause, it’s an easy way to enjoy a midweek night out while making a difference.
