Partygoers will experience eclectic wine tastings with pours throughout the evening, while enjoying a sumptuous selection of hors d’oeuvres as Bourbon Street hosts Mama’s Kitchen’s 16th Annual Wine Tasting Event, presented by Revivals, on Aug. 18.
Proceeds go directly to the daily operations of Mama’s Kitchen, the only non-profit in San Diego that prepares and delivers three meals a day, for seven days a week, at no charge to men, women and children affected by AIDS/HIV or cancer.
New this year, Revivals in Hillcrest is a presenting sponsor of this year’s wine tasting fundraiser.
“When our Hillcrest Revivals store opened, we thought it was a perfect opportunity to help support the essential services Mama’s Kitchen has been providing for so long,” said David Brinkman, CEO, Desert AIDS Project, which runs the thrift store in both San Diego and Palm Springs. “Thirty years into this epidemic, HIV and AIDS continue to affect people everywhere. Even though we’re located in Palm Springs, we have long admired the work that Mama’s Kitchen has been doing for people affected by AIDS and cancer in the San Diego area,”
Additional event highlights include a “Lucky Ticket” Silent Auction featuring gift packages from San Diego’s premiere dining and entertainment venues, as well as Mama’s Kitchen’s popular “Wine & Spirits Deck” Opportunity Drawing. New this year is a wine bottle ring toss, a fun and competitive opportunity to win bottles of wine and amazing prizes donated by generous companies and individuals.
Attendees who bring five items to donate to the Mama’s Pantry program will receive three free rings to toss. The items to bring are among the most requested items by pantry clients and are donations of cereal, jelly, canned tuna or salmon.
Pre-sale tickets are available for $55, and tickets sold at the door are $65. Bourbon Street is located at 4612 Park Blvd. in San Diego. To purchase tickets and for more information, visit mamaskitchen.org or call 619-233-6262.
