PARSIPPANY — The Intervale School PTA is hosting a very unique fundraiser: a wine tasting and a tricky tray! This is their first large-scale fundraiser in three years.
“First and foremost, we want this to be successful so that our students benefit,” Anya Sheiffele, Co-chair of the event stated. “However we have to realize the economy still isn’t the greatest and families live on budgets, so we want to stretch their entertainment dollar!”
On Wednesday, March 16 at the Knoll Country Club from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., the Intervale School PTA will host a wine tasting of 40 different wine selections, a buffet dinner, dessert and a tricky tray! The cost is $45.00 per ticket for wine tasting, the buffet dinner, dessert and one sheet of Level 1 Tickets. A cash bar will also be available.
PRE-SALE VALUE PACKS are available only until March 4 and include: two Level 1 ticket sheets, two Level 2 ticket sheets and one Level 3 ticket for $30.00.
As guests check in, they will be handed their tricky tray tickets as well as a wine tasting/order form. This will allow them to keep track of the wines they most enjoy. At the end of the night, patrons can drop their form into the wine box in the foyer and their wine order will be filled and ready for pick-up at the Eldorado Winehouse beginning that weekend and into the following week.
The Eldorado Winehouse, located at 346 Route 46 East, Mountain Lakes, has been amazing to work with, Anya mentioned. Don Gilchrist, owner of the Eldorado, has graciously offered to donate 20% of the total wine sales to Intervale PTA to support the school. “It certainly is a win-win. We couldn’t be more grateful to Don for supporting us and making this event so exciting.”
The goal is to raise $15,000. 100% of proceeds will go towards payment of all 300 students’ field trips, cultural arts programming and any additional student programming that aligns with our mission as a PTA.
DO NOT WAIT TO PURCHASE TICKETS! Three years ago, their event at The Villa sold out in advance. This year, attendance is limited to 250 people.
