PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Teresa Ging & Mara Smith for Sugar Bliss & Inspiro Tequila

CHICAGO, IL (MARCH 2026) — Sugar Bliss and Inspiro Tequila, two women-owned brands rooted in community and entrepreneurship, are partnering this March to support women in business through funding, events, and charitable giving.

Together, the brands will sponsor prizes for the WBDC Pitch Showcase 2026 which supports emerging women business owners.
“As a woman founder, I know how transformational early support and visibility can be,” said Teresa Ging, Founder & CEO of Sugar Bliss. “We’re honored to help uplift fellow women entrepreneurs through WBDC and to partner with Inspiro Tequila on an initiative that blends community, celebration, and impact.”

“Entrepreneurship is a challenging journey, and having a resource like the WBDC has been essential to navigating building a company,” said Mara Smith, Founder & CEO of Inspiro Tequila.

Each brand is supporting this give-back initiative to Women’s Business Development Center (WBDC):
Inspiro Tequila will donate $1 per featured cocktail sold and $1 per bottle purchased during the month of March
Sugar Bliss will contribute 10% of their online purchases during the month of March

In addition, the brands will co-host two philanthropic shopping events at Veronica Beard in March to unite the community in support of a meaningful cause, with guests enjoying Sugar Bliss margarita cupcakes made with Inspiro Tequila. Veronica Beard will give back 15% of all proceeds to the WBDC.

Both Sugar Bliss and Inspiro Tequila are certified Women Business Enterprises (WBEs) and have previously participated in the WBDC pitch competition, making this collaboration a natural extension of their shared commitment to uplifting female founders.
