Gala for WSU Viticulture & Enology Program Expands to Include Online Auctions
Tickets are now available for the ninth annual “Celebrate Washington Wine” gala to benefit WSU’s Viticulture and Enology Program. Proceeds from the 2010 fundraising event primarily will be dedicated to providing undergraduate and graduate scholarships, and student academic exchange programs.
Event planners are working on some new features for the annual black tie dinner and auction, including an online auction and an opportunity to test your luck with a wine “grab bag.” Grab bag participants will pay a flat fee for the opportunity to select an anonymous bottle from the grab bag selection. Will your “grab” net you a nice $25 bottle of fine Washington wine -- or will your luck bring you a hard-to-find $100 bottle?
So mark your calendar for Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010, to attend this intimate event held at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery and help WSU provide the research and the highly trained workforce to support the future of Washington’s wine industry. Tickets are $250 per person, or $2,500 for a VIP table of ten. The event has sold out in past years, so make your reservations early.
For sponsorship or donation information, or to make reservations please visit http://www.wineauction.wsu.edu or call 509-335-7772.
