Wine and Dine to Help Her Shine
The ultimate wine tasting experience was recently hosted by Girl Scouts of Nassau County
Girl Scouts of Nassau County (GSNC) recently hosted its annual wine-tasting fundraising event at The Lannin in Eisenhower Park, attracting almost 150 enthusiastic attendees. The money raised will be dedicated to providing access for more girls in Nassau County, ensuring all girls that want to participate in Girl Scouts have the opportunity to do so.
“This event put a spotlight on the importance of supporting girls in Nassau County and how Girl Scouts continues to be source of support, emphasizing the idea that it takes a village of people to empower girls and make their dreams come true,” said Rande Bynum, CEO of Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “Wine and Dine to Help Her Shine highlighted the luxurious aspects of the fall fundraising event while also keeping a spotlight on the lasting impact Girl Scouts truly have on the Nassau County community.”
The event highlighted Girl Scout stories and the tangible value of the Girl Scout program. Guests were also introduced to four wine brands that are owned or led by women that are distributing the industry.

The success of the “Wine and Dine to Help Her Shine” event exemplified the power of community and the importance of supporting and uplifting girls and women, especially here in Nassau County. Women and girls receive less than 2% charitable donations and last night, GSNC did its part to change that statistic. The funds are poised to make a significant difference in providing access and opportunities for local girls, ensuring they thrive and shine through their Girl Scout experiences. This event served as a testament to the collective commitment to empowering and nurturing the dreams of young girls in the community.
