Singer performs at charity wine tasting in Hoffman

Singer Ron Hawking will headline an evening of wine, food and entertainment at “Aged to Perfection: An Evening of Note to Support BACOA,” the Barrington Area Council on Aging’s 16th annual wine tasting.

The event will be held from 6:30-10 p.m. Friday, September 16, at the Chicago Marriott Northwest, 4800 Columbine Blvd., Hoffman Estates.

Guests will be able to sample more than 50 wines — provided by Barrington’s Wine Discount Center — while enjoying a buffet supper and bidding on an array of live and silent auction items. Guests will also have a chance to win the evening’s main raffle item: the Wagon of Wine, two cases of wine specially selected by Wine Discount Center.

Favorite wine selections will be available for purchase and BACOA will receive a percentage of the sales generated by wine purchases.

This year’s event offers early-bird pricing; tickets are $90 per person before Sept. 1; $100 after.

Proceeds from the event benefit BACOA’s services and programs for seniors and caregivers. These include Meals with Wheels, information and resources on aging-related issues, social and recreational programs for seniors, supportive services for family caregivers, support and education groups.

The event will be sponsored by Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital; Alden Estates of Barrington; PricewaterhouseCoopers; and The Garlands of Barrington; Harris Bank is the entertainment sponsor.
