It is time for Wine in the Pines, Crown King’s 5th annual wine and microbrew tasting event at The Mill’s Engine Room!
Check out details and buy tickets HERE, tell your friends on FACEBOOK and TWITTER, and then we will see you **THIS WEEKEND** for another fun-filled night benefiting Child Crisis Center – East Valley.
Why did we choose the Child Crisis Center as our charity? Not only has this non-profit organization been sheltering abused and neglected children for 30 years, they go beyond the “crisis” situation to teach parents coping skills and give them resources through classes offered at their Family Resource Center. For some children, it won’t be safe to return home and they will be placed in a foster home or adoptive home. Through Arizona Adoption & Foster Care (a part of Child Crisis Center), families can become licensed foster care providers and adoptive placements. Firebird Realty broker Jackie Briggs began volunteering with the babies & children at the shelter and realized just how many kids need loving homes, inspiring her and her husband to become foster parents and adopt their daughter last year.
Running a shelter for 42 little ones requires a large budget and support of the community through volunteering and fund-raising. All proceeds from Wine in the Pines are donated to the Child Crisis Center. Last year, we raised $2,500 and we are hoping to donate even more this year!

We are still accepting donations for raffle prizes and silent auction items. Gift certificates for restaurants, salon services, hotel stays, gift baskets, tickets to sports and events, memorabilia, anything cool that we can raffle off — it all helps raise money! All proceeds from Wine in the Pines are given to Child Crisis Center and we are grateful to everyone who has already donated items 🙂
THANK YOU to Four Peaks Brewing for donating a few varieties of beer to our event! We are also featuring beer from Stone Brewing Co and others. Come up and find your new favorite brew!
