Toast the Arts ~ Taste the Wine: A Great Success!

CHOICE, unlimited’s Toast the Arts ~ Taste the Wine fundraiser raised over $11,000 for CHOICE, unlimited’s ARTS Program. There were fantastic items auctioned and great deals on everything from fine art to chocolate, tattoos to yoga, watercolors to pedicures, dog treats to ballet tickets, lodging to books, movies to music lessons, pizza to Tupperware, and golfing to fishing trips. Over 200 items were donated for the silent and live auctions. All money raised will help support the ARTS Program at CHOICE, unlimited where over 70 individuals participate in visual arts, dance, and theatre classes each year. Monies raised also help support the BOLD-choice Theatre Company in its mission to raise awareness in our community of the talents and skills of individuals with disabilities.

We would like to extend our gratitude to our major event sponsors including: Northland Country Club, KeyPort Liquor, Wells Fargo Bank and Northland NewsCenter. Their generosity was instrumental in making this event a success. Thank you!
