The BEYOU Fund: Supporting Female Entrepreneurs
BottlesUp has been committed to supporting women in business since day one, which is why owner Melissa Zeman began the BeyoU Fund, an annual grant awarded to a local female entrepreneur! Thanks to generous customer donations and community partnerships, the fund always grows past its starting $1,500 amount. The 2026 total is $2,700 so far! Applications are now being accepted and the recipient will be announced at BottlesUp’s annual summer event (a Girl Dinner Party on September 10!).
If you are a female-owned business or know one who deserves this funding, email melissa@bottlesupchicago.com!

A Grease Parody offers a humorous and satirical take on the beloved musical, celebrating its memorable characters, rivalries, romances, and iconic moments through comedy. Running from August 20th to January 3rd.
