Tonic is very active in the community, volunteering its services to individuals and organizations with a passion for food and beverage marketing or who want to acquire new skills, and volunteering its time to a number of community causes, from public schools to childhood nutrition. Community engagement is at the heart of who we are. Located in the vibrant West Town neighborhood of Chicago, we take pride in giving back to the community that inspires us every day.
Our family plays an active role at Suder Montessori Magnet School, an emerging gem in the shadow of the United Center. As passionate supporters of this pre-K through 8th grade school, we donate time and resources to help it thrive. Our founder's wife volunteers as the librarian, fostering a love of learning and reading in young students.
Beyond local education, our founder participates in the Stetson University Community Education Program, where he mentors inmates at Tomoka Correctional Institution about marketing and the food industry. Through presentations and one-on-one counsel, he helps individuals develop valuable skills for life beyond incarceration—a testament to our belief in second chances and the power of education.
We are also dedicated to promoting the values of the Slow Food movement. We believe that mealtime is sacred—a time to slow down, connect, and enjoy real food with loved ones.
Through these initiatives, Tonic Partners is committed to making a meaningful impact, enriching the lives of those around us.
