KindLee plans 'Sip #KindLee' event Thursday, June 15

FORT MYERS, Fla. - June 5, 2023 - PRLog -- An evening of wine tasting and food pairing is planned Thursday, June 15 by KindLee, a nonprofit that focuses on acts of kindness to support children who may be struggling. The event is from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at FineMark Bank, 8695 College Pkwy, Suite 100, Fort Myers.

Tickets are not required for the event, but donations to KindLee are encouraged.

In addition to food, wine and networking, the event will include announcements of a new board member and scholarship winner. The event chairperson is Michelle Burks, a Fort Myers native and real estate professional, who is also a board member of the Edison Festival of Light.

KindLee President Kelly Fayer said donations help the nonprofit expand its program of creating service projects and celebrating their success to help children facing challenges such as trauma, abuse, loss and financial hardship.

"We help children create a community service project to help someone else," said Fayer. "Being able to help others reminds these children that they are special and valuable. Community support allows us to be able to spread this kindness to so many people in the community."
