MIAMI – Educate Tomorrow will host its 9th Annual Wine Tasting & Silent Auction on Friday, June 1, 2012 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Miami Tower’s Sky Lobby.
“This annual event is a great fundraiser for Educate Tomorrow, whose mission is to create independence for disadvantaged and foster youth through education, mentoring, and life skills training.” said Melanie Damian, Chair of the Board of Directors for Educate Tomorrow.
Educate Tomorrow is a non-profit organization that provides one-on-one education mentors for foster care youth between the ages of 14 and 23 who are transitioning out of the foster care system, without the emotional and financial advantages of being welcomed into an adoptive family. The annual Wine Tasting and Silent Auction event attracts wine enthusiasts and passionate supporters of Educate Tomorrow.
The iconic Miami Tower (formerly known as the Bank of America Tower) will light up the beautiful downtown Miami skyline with gold and red colors, in celebration of the organization’s annual tasting event. In addition to a wide sampling of exceptional wine and food pairings, the event will also feature a lavish Silent Auction, with a selection of restaurant gift certificates, rare wines, spa and beauty treatments and much more.
Food and beverage sponsors include: Republic National Distributing Company, International Wine Imports, Graziano Group and Jaguar. Musical entertainment will be provided by DJ Tony DeLerme.
Major event sponsors include: Alderman & Kodsi, P.A., BenTrust Financial, Inc., Cond Hotel International LLC, Damian & Valori LLP, Dimond Kaplan & Rothstein P.A., Frank Jimenez, Gibraltar Bank, Global Risk Solutions, Inc., Harke Clasby & Bushman LLP, Kaufman, Rossin & Co., P.A. and Lipscomb, Eisenberg & Baker, PL.
