PEI Kids Wine And Food Fundraiser Set For Oct. 13

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ — Over 400 guests are expected at PEI Kids’ 12th annual Wine and Food Tasting on Friday, Oct. 13, at the Signature Flight Support hangar located at Trenton-Mercer Airport, PEI Kids announced this week.

The fundraiser features food from the area’s finest restaurants and confectioners, over 200 wines provided by distributors affiliated with Trenton Fine Wine & Liquors, and displays of private aircraft and exotic automobiles.

A team of volunteers transforms the airport hangar into a unique setting that includes views of private jets landing at sunset. New features this year will include a photo booth with props so guests can take fun event photos, games of chance, and opportunities to win themed prizes – like a private-jet ride for two or a sky-diving experience.

“In addition to offering a great time, this event generates critical program funding which enables us to deliver valuable programs and services throughout the year at no cost to children or their families,” PEI Kids Executive Director Roz Dashiell said. “It is a lovely testament to community collaboration, bringing together local vendors, fine eateries and beverage purveyors who donate their services to make our tasting event a success every year.”

Tickets and sponsorship information are available at www.peikids.org or by contacting Janina Akins at jakins@peikids.org or 609-695-3739.
