An exciting new partnership with Zachary's Daiquiris & Republic Reign coming soon to #CharlestonSC!🍹 Zachary Elliott, a #MakeAWish recipient, had his wish fulfilled when he met Alec Monopoly, his favorite artist and painter, in Los Angeles. Elliott was born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina and is a living testament to the power of overcoming adversity. His story began at the age of nine years old, when he was diagnosed with bone cancer, a diagnosis that carried a 10% chance of survival. The frozen daiquiri concept will highlight a flavor (+ a mocktail!) that will be dedicated to benefiting Make-A-Wish® South Carolina.
