As we all know, healthcare is very expensive and there are many low-income and uninsured children and families in our local community. AmeriCares Free Clinics was established 17 years ago and with the help of hundreds of volunteer nurses, doctors, and administrative personnel, thousands of residents can now receive medical services.
Ancona's Wines & Liquors assisted in AmeriCares annual fundraising efforts on Saturday by organizing and presenting a wine tasting of over 25 wines. The atmosphere was very festive and the attendees enjoyed mingling while tasting and sampling various wines from around the world.
Bull’s Head Market of Norwalk did an outstanding job preparing a lovely assortment of hor d’oeuvres while classical guitarist Gene Pino provided music for the event. Guests were able to participate in a silent auction and raffle. It was a beautiful evening full of wonderful energy and a feeling of giving that resulted in great success.
Thank you to all who came out to support the cause, we had a fantastic time! We would also like to extend our gratitude to our distributors who donated their time at the event and the bottles for tasting - Martin Scott Wines, Peter Skurnik Wines, Slocum & Suns, and Winebow.
Ancona's is donating 15% of the proceeds from the wines tasted at the event. If you were unable to attend the event, you may still make purchases that will be donated until April 9th. To review the selection of wines and purchase them on-line click here and type AmCare as the promo code so your purchases will be included as part of the fundraising efforts. Please help us in supporting this wonderful community service to children and families in need of proper medical care.
