Wine-ing for Literacy October 22, 2020
Wine-ing for Literacy returns—online—for its ninth year. Come toast to children’s literacy!
When: Thursday, October 22; 5:30pm – 6:45pm
Where: From the comfort of your home (via Zoom)
Suggested Donation: $15 suggested; your ticket admits you to our online event featuring speakers and a guided wine tasting by the experts at Sunday School Wine.
Featured Wines: Our guest sommeliers have selected three wines they think “best represent Oregon’s dynamic wine-making scene, highlighting small, thoughtfully-minded producers, and wines that are made with heart.”
• Day Wines Johan Vineyard Pinot Noir
• Loop de Loop Romeo Red “Vin de Soif”
• Shiba Wichern Havlin Vineyard Auxerrois
Optional Food Purchase: We are delighted to partner with Devil’s Food Catering to offer food selections for purchase through their weekly Handbasket menu. Beginning October 18, you can purchase from that week’s menu—including featured items that will benefit First Book Portland—and then opt for pickup or delivery on the 22nd.
Raffle Tickets: Raffle tickets are available for purchase on our registration page at $10 for 1 ticket or $25 for 3 tickets. You can buy as many tickets as you wish to improve your odds, and you do not need to be present in the Zoom session to win.
Thanks to our wonderful donors, the raffle prize are looking great! Get all the details on our Raffle Packages page.
Two important raffle notes: the deadline to purchase tickets is October 21, and we will not be shipping prizes. If you do not live in close proximity Portland, you’ll need to have a local contact who can handle the transfer on your behalf.
Thank you to our sponsors!
