June 23, 2025
Ann Arbor, MI — Echelon Kitchen & Bar proudly announced today that it has raised over $5,000 USD through sales of its signature Woodson Whiskey “Modern Medicine” cocktail. The proceeds will directly support the Charles Woodson Clinical Research Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing neuroscience research and pediatric care.
Echelon first introduced the "Modern Medicine" cocktail earlier this spring, featuring the smooth blend of Woodson Whiskey, a nod to Charles Woodson’s commitment to both flavor and philanthropy. Each order carried more than just a taste; it carried a purpose.
Charles Woodson shared his gratitude:
“I’m incredibly grateful to the team at Echelon for their support and creativity in launching the Modern Medicine cocktail." said Charles Woodson, Michigan legend and owner of Woodson Whiskey. "Every order helped raise critical funds for the Charles Woodson Clinical Research Fund, and I want to personally thank everyone who came out, raised a glass, and supported the cause. Together, we’re making a real difference in the fight against childhood diseases.”
Echelon’s guests and staff came together in full force, demonstrating the power of community, creativity, and care. The restaurant plans to keep the Modern Medicine cocktail on the menu throughout the summer and may even explore new charitable pairings in the future.
