FORT COLLINS, Colo. (May 9, 2018) – Wilbur’s Total Beverage is pleased to announce that tickets for its 17th Annual A Vintage Affair event go on sale Friday, June 1 and may be purchased at Wilbur’s Total Beverage or at pathways-care.org/ava. Tickets are $80 per person, and all guests must be 21 years of age or older to attend. A Vintage Affair will be held at the CSU Lory Student Center Grand Ballroom on Friday, July 27, 6:30-9 p.m. to benefit the Pathways Children’s Healing Garden, which will provide interactive healing opportunities for grieving youth in the community.

“Wilbur’s Total Beverage has always put community first,” said Mat Dinsmore, owner of Wilbur’s Total Beverage. “We greatly support Pathways’ mission and the phenomenal work they do in northern Colorado, and it is an honor to continue benefiting them through our favorite event.”

A Vintage Affair will feature an elegant night of more than 200 wine and beer varieties from around the world, gourmet appetizers, a silent auction and more. Thanks to the generosity of Wilbur’s Total Beverage, guests will also have the opportunity to purchase tickets for a drawing to win 99 bottles of wine or 99 bottles of beer.

A Vintage Affair will specifically benefit Pathways’ Children’s Healing Garden project, which is expected to be completed later this year. This innovative endeavor will serve as a space for more than 600 grieving youth in the community to experience healing and active learning. The garden will feature many unique aspects, such as an oversized “bird’s nest” with an “eggs” seating area for one-on-one counseling, a memory garden, sand play area, steps for moving between tiers, a mandala area for art therapy and many more.
