Public Invited to Free Charity Event on September 22
LAUREL, Md., Aug. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Capitol area residents are invited to gather Thursday, Sept. 22 to give local children in need a taste of kindness. A special fundraiser and free wine-tasting at Corridor Fine Wine in Laurel, will benefit hundreds of Washington, D.C. and Maryland children in foster care and adoption programs operated by the national children's charity KidsPeace.
The public is invited between 6 and 9 p.m. to enjoy the evening's "Around the World Wine Tasting," featuring wines and champagnes from five countries. The tasting is free and 30 percent of all "Winery Direct" sales will be donated to KidsPeace.
"This event is for people with a thirst--not just for the finer things in life--but for helping children, many of whom don't have the basics, such as a home and a loving adult to guide their way," said Steve Faith, Vice President of Wine Operations for Corridor Fine Wine.
"It's not every day you get to take a trip around the globe," Diane Sancilio, Regional Manager of Foster Care and Community Programs. "And at the same time, do a world of good to benefit our children."
