Twin River Casino Hotel hosted “A Night of Miracles,” a holiday fundraising event sponsored by Tito’s Handmade Vodka and featuring cocktails from Miracle, a Christmas-themed pop-up bar offering holiday cheer via its annual global locations. During the evening, guests enjoyed festive holiday cocktails from the Miracle Bar menu, including the Snowball Old Fashioned and the Jingle Ball Nog. Event proceeds benefited the Cranston West Alumni Association and the Project Broken Wheel Foundation, a nonprofit organization that refurbishes used and donated bicycles for Rhode Island children. Launched on November 21 on the second floor of the casino, Twin River’s Miracle Bar is open to the public Thursday through Saturday evenings through New Year’s Eve. Through a variety of special events at Twin River’s Miracle pop-up, a number of charitable organizations will benefit during its month and a half run, including the RI Hospitality Association, Youth Pride Inc. Rhode Island, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation and the Leadership Rhode Island Educational Foundation.
