Kent Station Hosts “Wine Music Moolah” Fundraiser June 16 To Benefit Children’s Therapy Center

June 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Gather your friends for Wine Music Moolah hosted by Kent Station on Thursday, June 16 from 5 to 9 pm.  Proceeds from Wine Music Moolah ticket sales benefit Children’s Therapy Center, a nonprofit serving children with special needs and their families in King and Pierce Counties.

With the purchase of a $35 ticket, Wine Music Moolah enthusiasts will receive two wine tastes and one bite from seven Kent Station restaurants:  Banyan Tree, Duke’s Chowder House, Kaiten Sushi, O Pho & Teriyaki, Mama Stortini’s, The RAM and Reds Wine Bar. In addition to tastes and bites, ticket holders will also enjoy special offers from participating merchants on June 16 and 17. Only 100 tickets will be sold, so those interested are encouraged to buy their tickets early.

Kent Station guests will be entertained by the live music of Everyday Jones (5 – 8 pm) on the Kent Station Fountain Stage just outside of AMC Theatres. In addition, the Friends of CTC Guild will host a silent auction (5 – 9 pm) to raise additional funds for the Kent-based nonprofit. Thanks to the generosity of sponsor MultiCare, participating restaurants and wineries, 100% of the ticket sales will go directly to Children’s Therapy Center.

“Kent Station has made a significant difference in the lives of some of our community’s most fragile citizens through sponsorship of CTC’s events, including being the Premier Sponsor for our Annual Dinner Auction the past two years,” said CTC Development Director Lois Maier. “Not only does Kent Station donate resources, they donate their time. John Hinds, Kent Station’s General Manager, has emceed our auction for the past two years and Sommer Ueda, Marketing & Property Manager serves on our Board of Directors.  Our Board, staff, and most of all – the families we serve – are very thankful for Kent Station’s support.”
