KATY, TX (October 18, 2017) –The 12th Annual Katy Wine Fest hosted by the Cinco Ranch Rotary will be held on Friday, November 3, 2017 at Gallery Furniture off Hwy 99 in Richmond. The event will begin at 7 p.m. and end at 11 p.m.
An anticipated 300 guests will be in attendance to raise money for The Brookwood Community’s ongoing training and outreach programs and to continue support for the Center for Learning. As a result, Brookwood will no longer be the exception to the rule in the broader field of disabilities, but will be a new norm enhancing the lives of adults with special needs across the nation and around the world.
Over the past 5 years, the Cinco Ranch Rotary has donated more than $90,000 to launch and sustain Brookwood’s Center for Learning. Proceeds from the 2017 event will allow Brookwood to continue to expand its curriculum as well as host several Networking Days, bringing guests from around the country to the Brookwood campus to see first-hand its model for success.
The 12th Annual Katy Wine Fest will celebrate wines from Italy as well as several Texas wineries. In total, more than 60 wines will be featured at this year’s event. Additionally, many top Katy/West Houston restaurants will offer light bites and delectable treats to guests. For non-wine drinkers, local beers will be available.
Katy’s own Chris Boise will provide the musical entertainment. An exciting silent auction and Big Board auction will feature unique items with proceeds directly benefiting The Brookwood Community.
Tickets to the Katy Wine Fest may be purchased online at www.KatyWineFest.com. Day-of general admission tickets will be available at the door.
“The Rotary Club of Cinco Ranch is thrilled to bring the Katy Wine Fest to our community. This is a fun event that allows our guests to enjoy great wine and culinary delights from local restaurants,” said Katy Wine Fest chairwoman, Mary Ellen Morris. “It will be a great night to enjoy with friends while supporting an amazing organization like Brookwood.”
