Wine Festival Contributes $14,000 to two local charities

It was another sold out night at the 12^th Annual Seaway International Wine Festival held at the Ramada Hotel & Conference Centre on Saturday January 17^th.   Guests enjoyed an evening of gourmet foods, wines, spirits and live music. After partnering with our local radio stations (Boom 101.9 & Fresh FM), Scotiabank and Pommier Jewellers over $14,000 was raised for this year’s charities, the United Way/Centraide SD&G and Rachel’s Kids.

“We are extremely pleased to be one of the charities of choice for this fantastic event”, said Nolan Quinn, 2014 United Way/Centraide Campaign Chair. “The funds contributed to United Way through this event will have a great impact and benefit many people here at home in SDG. Thank you very much to Ramada Cornwall, Scotiabank, Corus Entertainment and Pommier Jewellers”.

The Scotiabank volunteer program assisted the event by matching $5,000 of funds raised.
