MCC Foundation Announces Ticket Sales for the Annual Evening of Fine Wines Fundraiser, May 1

Tickets are on sale for MCC Foundation’s 23rd annual Evening of Fine Wines to be held on Friday, May 1, from 7 to 10 p.m. Get in on the excitement early and purchase tickets for an advanced ticket-sales price of $75 per person, or $65 per person as a group rate when purchasing six or more together. Ticket prices go up to $85 per person on March 1.

Through MCC Foundation, Evening of Fine Wines raises funds that enable Manchester Community College students to pursue their educational goals by supporting scholarships, programs and student life. Less than half of the college’s budget is supported through public funding, making support from MCC Foundation donors crucial. Help make a difference and benefit academic programs and hundreds of deserving students who need financial assistance to complete their education. The 2014 Evening of Fine Wines raised more than $254,000.

The event is a unique fundraiser that involves participation from college faculty, staff, students, alumni and members of the community. Guests can bid on silent and live auctions featuring wines, champagnes, once-in-a-lifetime trips, weekend getaways, original works of art, golf, restaurant gift cards and more.

Sample wine, beer and liquors from vineyards, breweries and distilleries, both local and from around the globe. Receive a complimentary souvenir wine glass. Indulge in elegant hors d’oeuvres served throughout the evening and delectable desserts prepared by MCC’s Hospitality Management and Culinary Arts students.
