Mixes up drink for fundraising event (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

jumble sale

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'event' is the definition.
(I have seen 'parish event' mean 'jumble sale' so perhaps 'event' could also mean 'jumble sale')

'mixes up drink for fundraising' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'drink' could be 'ale' (type of beer) and 'ale' is present in the answer.
'mixes up' could be 'jumbles' ('jumble' can be a synonym of 'mix up') and 'jumbles' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
