Follow on Google News | Wine and Design Raises $1,300 for Breast Cancer with First Fundraising Painting EventPart of the evening’s proceeds to benefit the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure
By: Wine and Design “The energy that was in the studio that evening was electrifying,” For the fundraising event, Wine and Design provided the canvas, cover-up, paints, paintbrushes, and corkscrew. A local artist was on hand to guide the attendees through a carefully orchestrated, step-by-step process that produced a finished “masterpiece” “So many great women came and shared their stories with me. It was very touching,” says Wilkie. “I truly appreciate all of the efforts made by Harriet and Emmy [Emmy Preiss, Wine and Design partner] on behalf of our event and applaud Wine and Design for being such a great and unique company.” Since opening its doors on April of this year, Wine and Design has been very active in supporting charitable events throughout their community. In addition to the Susan G. Komen fundraiser, the company has supported StepUP Ministry, Interact’s Rock for Kids event, Pancreatic Cancer Society, The V Foundation for Cancer Research, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. “We’re proud of our community outreach and will continue to do what we can in order to support those causes near and dear to us,” says Mills. “Both Emmy and I are drawn to organizations that support children and women and we look forward to seeking out partnerships that allow us to use our company to make a positive difference in our community.” J. Lohr Vineyards and Wines also contributed to the “Your Girls and Mine” fundraising event by supplying wine to all event participants. They also donated a wooden case of three of the company’s more expensive wines to help raise additional money for the fundraiser, as well as 10% of all wine sales through The Wine Merchant. “Your Girls and Mine” are still accepting donations on behalf of the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. Checks should be made payable to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day for the Cure and mailed to 2131 Coleman Drive, Winterville, NC 28590.
