#cookForUkraine fundraisers
With plans already in place for hosting our Dinner in the Vineyards when the war in Ukraine started, we wondered how we could help? What could we do? We came up with the idea to create a fundraiser alongside this event. Our very own #CookForUkraine fundraiser. All proceeds will go to help displaced Ukrainian children via UNICEF.
We’ve been working with a few key people to obtain drool-worthy prizes. For the first part of our fundraiser, we are holding an auction of some key prizes. The auction will start on 15 June 2022 and run until 30 June 2022. Additionally, at the event itself, there will be a donation raffle for the participants of the dinner.
