Want to drink and do something good for those struggling with mental illness? Grab a ticket to Beer + Bow Ties, a benefit for suicide prevention. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay. Tickets provide unlimited tastings of booze and bites from restaurants including Osteria and District Tavern, sweet treats from Bake’n Babes, Snobachi and Nothing Bundt Cakes plus a caffeine buzz from Blind Tiger. Come dressed to impress — but not in gala attire — and walk the carpet while getting your photo taken on a custom made step-and-repeat created by Tampa artist Jason Skeldon.
Fri. Sept. 13. The Gathering at Armature Works, 1910 N. Ola Ave., Tampa. 7 p.m. $100-$150. beerandbowtiestampabay.com.
