Instant Wine Cellar Fundraiser

Instant Wine Cellar Fundraiser in April! The 4th annual Instant Wine Cellar is scheduled for 7p.m. Friday, April 25, at the Perry Hotel in Petoskey. Entry to the event is either a bottle of wine, a six-pack of craft beer, or $15. With the purchase of raffle tickets, guests have a chance to win an "Instant Wine Cellar" from the donated beverages, as well as many other fantastic prizes. Boyne River Remedy will perform music throughout the evening. There will also be a silent auction, Stafford's hors d'oeuvres, and cash bar. A committee of local young professionals is organizing the evening to benefit Char-Em United Way's Volunteer Connections program and hopes to bring awareness of the positive impact the organization has on the community. Betsy Britton, Ben Crockett and Rebecca Otto are co-chairing the evening. "This is a huge event for Northern Michigan" said Ben Crockett. "Every year we have more people coming out to support this great cause, listen to music, and enjoy delicious food, wine and beer with their friends." All proceeds from the Instant Wine Cellar will support Char-Em United Way's Volunteer Connections program. Volunteer Connections is a virtual volunteer center which promotes volunteerism in the community and helps people find opportunities that meet their passion and interests.
