March is when brackets bust, underdogs rise, and everyone suddenly becomes a statistics expert. So why not channel that competitive energy into something far more meaningful than arguing about a 12-seed?

Join us at AleSmith Brewery for a March Madness Mixer that combines great conversations, craft brews, and community impact. Whether your bracket is still alive or already in shambles, this is your chance to step off the sidelines and into a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere filled with fellow HR professionals and community leaders.

No whistles. No timeouts. Just authentic connection, laughter, and maybe a little friendly bracket banter over a pint.

And here’s the part that really counts: we’re partnering with Reality Changers, a San Diego nonprofit dedicated to preparing youth to become first-generation college graduates and agents of change in their communities. Throughout the evening, we’ll be collecting donations to support their powerful work—because building talent pipelines shouldn’t start at the interview stage; it should start at opportunity.

So come for the camaraderie. Stay for the cause. Raise a glass to connection, community, and creating real impact right here in San Diego.

In a month all about advancing to the next round, let’s help the next generation advance too.
