A donation of $35 will include a sampling of several wine varieties with appetizers, touring the Jen School garden and winning raffle prizes.
The outdoor tent event offers two time slots: 3 to 4 p.m. or 5 to 6 p.m. on the Des Plaines campus, 1150 N. River Road. Register for a specific time and available event sponsorships:
For 3 to 4 p.m., go to bit.ly/3rgwjx4. For 5 to 6 p.m., go to bit.ly/2UIH9Q5.
"We are very excited to host this event again this year," Director of Development Megan Biasco said. "The inaugural launch last year was successful in spite of the challenges we all faced."
Biasco said that people really enjoyed themselves last year.
"We hope to see our friends and supporters at the event again this year. Hopefully, more people will come now that health restrictions have been lifted."
