DrinKitz was formed in 2012 to develop, produce, and market an innovative and unique line of powdered cocktail drink mixes. The company was formed by a group of US Navy guys far too cheap and lazy to fully stock and mix drinks from their own bars or the endurance to carry it all around.  After discovering that mixing drinks from a bartenders guide got more difficult with the number of drinks consumed they asked the golden question —why can’t we just add a packet to  our favorite alcohol, mix, and drink. Now you can!

Far different than anything on the market, these drinks  are easy to use and mix, require no knowledge of bartending or mixology, and save you time and money. Whether you’re hanging out by the pool, hosting an event at home, heading out on vacation, or want to impress family and friends, you’ll want these by your side. With  one shot of your vodka, rum, or tequila, a little water and ice, and your choice of over 30 drink mixes, with a quick shake you become an instant bartender. Want something different? No problem, just grab a different mix packet! Want something we don’t have, let us know.

Made in America with high-quality ingredients, and available through regional liquor distributors, various retail  markets, caterers, and on our own Amazon storefront (coming soon),  these great products put fantastic tasting, full-bar quality mixed drinks at your fingertips—without the bar tab.

Mission

Saving Lives…. Reducing  Crime…..Building Futures

Pathways For Change is committed to our clients and our community. Human transformation is our business; Pathways for Change saves people from the destructive lifestyle too often perpetuated by poverty, abuse of alcohol and other drugs, and lack of education.

Pathways For Change reduces crime on many fronts. We reduce recidivism at a rate of 70 percent, meaning the vast majority of our clients do not go out and commit new crimes. We help young people and families know that they have a future as law-abiding citizens. They do not need to hang with the gang, give up hope or dreams, or settle for a life that is not what God has intended for them.

Pathways For Change builds futures for children by providing a summer camp and an after-school program for middle-school boys and girls. We build futures for families by showing them how to live free of drugs and crime. We build futures of the elderly residents who live right next door to the Family Center; they now have meaningful work to do — volunteering as tutors, mentors, instructors, childcare sitters, librarians, office coordinators. We are reviving a neighborhood, called “homeless town,” working with each other to save lives, increase safety and build futures.

Vision

Pathways For Change offers a comprehensive, caring vision. We assess each individual who comes to PFC for help and we offer assistance in whatever areas are needed. all the lacking areas. If we build lives, one at a time, and do it well, we will save a neighborhood and then a community. We depend greatly on our partners and volunteers; that bond allows those individuals to accomplish their own missions. We all benefit.

We believe that the only way to true healing is through the love of God and a daily relationship with Him.

We envision healthy activities, such as a community vegetable garden, with area residents growing and selling their produce. We plan daily exercise classes for children, adults and senior citizens. We see a future that is healthy, ripe with opportunities.

Core Values

• Faith – We believe it is not about us, it is about God’s Leadership.
• Commitment – We show love and compassion for each other and those we serve, as we make a difference in our community.
• Communication – We practice daily, the vital sharing and understanding of information in a safe, nurturing environment.
• Integrity – We deliver transparency in our organization, earning trust and respect.
• Hope – We believe that every life is a life worth saving.
• Stewardship –  We make wise and responsible decisions regarding all that we have been given.
• Excellence – We deliver excellence through personal responsibility, accountability and  continuous improvement.

JOHN MILLER

As a John Maxwell Certified Coach, Teacher and Speaker, I can offer you workshops, seminars, keynote speaking, and coaching, aiding your personal and professional growth through study and practical application of John’s proven leadership methods. Working together, I will move you and/or your team or organization in the desired direction to reach your goals.

I have an extensive background in Information Technology, primarily in the Healthcare Industry. During this time, I have seen good leadership; but more commonly, I have witnessed a dire need in both industries for effective leadership that produces positive outcomes. Healthcare, more than ever before, requires the utmost in good leaders who know how to add value to their workforce; thus creating an environment of peak productivity. Likewise, other industries, businesses and organizations can benefit greatly from the development of good leaders.

I have read and put to practice self-improvement and leadership materials for years, especially those of John C. Maxwell. When the opportunity arose to join with his team to build a legacy of coaches and teachers, I jumped at the chance. Training under John and his world-class mentorship team has been the highlight of my life. It has fulfilled my passion to surround myself with individuals living and breathing best practices in the leadership and personal development community, so I can share that experience with others.

My observations and experience, coupled with my burning desire to add value to people and use the skills I have been trained for, will most assuredly make a difference in your organization and help you reach new levels of achievement.

Calvin Bonifacio is a pioneer in new age marketing strategies and mobile applications in the Pensacola area. Having launched projects such as GrubNinja and GrubOn T.V., he has connected the community with technology allowing restaurants to flourish with additional sources of revenue at very low cost, as well as, giving customers information through visual content and experiential marketing.

While travelling the country working with companies such as Oracle, Microsoft, and CompuCom training employees and deploying updates systems and softwares, Calvin realized the effect that technology has on large scale enterprises. This experience combined with the move to Pensacola and the advent of GrubNinja and GrubOn T.V. was the catalyst to LeadGrasp. We found a way to capitalize on Google strategies to develop and bring new businesses to the Gulf Coast region.

Calvin’s dedication lies in growing the Pensacola area since he plans on growing his family here. Therefore, not only are his endeavors for business purposes, but also to ensure the success of the local economy for future generations. Calvin realizes the potential growth that Pensacola holds and will help future business capitalize on this opportunities.
