Pathways Hosts “A Vintage Affair” Benefit
Presented by Wilbur’s Total Beverage
Fort Collins, COLO., September 2, 2025 – Pathways is proud to invite the community to the 23rd annual A Vintage Affair, a signature fundraising event that blends an evening of fine tastes with heartfelt purpose. The celebration will be held on Sunday, September 21, 2025, from 5–8 p.m. at Grays Peak Building at Front Range Community College in Fort Collins. Presented by Wilbur’s Total Beverage Wine & Spirits, A Vintage Affair brings together friends, neighbors, and community leaders to support Pathways’ mission of providing expert hospice, palliative care, and grief support to individuals and families across Larimer and Weld counties.
Over the past 22 years, A Vintage Affair has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Pathways. This year’s proceeds from the event will be dedicated to the Pathways Family Assistance Fund which provides essential support offering grants for non-medical expenses such as food, travel, mortgage or rent payments, which allows families to focus on what truly matters at this time in their life. In addition, funds will also offer funding to The Dream Quilter’s Project which is a dedicated group of volunteers that donates 35-40 quilts on a monthly basis to the Inpatient Care Center. The blankets not only offer warmth and comfort to patients in their final days but also serve as a cherished memento for their loved ones.
“A Vintage Affair is a celebration of compassion and community,” said Evan Hyatt, President of Pathways. “The support we receive through this event helps to ensure that our patients and their families facing serious illness or grief have access to the expert care and support they deserve. We are deeply grateful to Wilbur’s Total Beverage and other sponsors for making this mission happen. And this year, we are thrilled to have many of the quilts created by The Dream Quilter’s Project on display so those attending A Vintage Affair can see for themselves.”
Event guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring whiskey, wine, and beer tastings from top local and regional vendors, along with delicious hors d’oeuvres and decadent desserts. Live entertainment will set the tone for a lively night, while the always-popular silent auction offers the chance to bid on unique experiences, beautifully curated gift baskets, and one-of-a-kind items.
“All of us at Wilbur’s are deeply honored to continue supporting A Vintage Affair,” said Mat Dinsmore, owner of Wilbur’s Total Beverage. “This event has a special place in our hearts, not only for the incredible work it supports, but for the way it brings the community together to celebrate, connect, and give back.”
Tickets are $75.00 per person and can be purchased online at https://pathways-care.org/ava-tickets/ or in person at Wilbur’s Total Beverage, 2201 S. College Avenue, Fort Collins. Space is limited, and early purchase is recommended.
This year’s event is made possible through the generosity of our sponsors, including our Title Sponsor, Wilbur’s Total Beverage, and many valued community partners.
