Add comment June 13th, 2008

Crusader Clinic will hold its first-ever winetasting fundraiser — which also is its first-ever summer fundraising event — from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on July 12, said Vice President Development Linda Niemiec. The event will be at the University Club of Rockford, 945 N. Main St.  It will include wine, hors d’oeuvres and music by local artist Dan Voll.

It also will include an auction with wine baskets, special bottles of wine and an original painting by local artist and former Rockford Park District Board Commissioner Charlotte Hackin.

 ”We thought this would be a nice way to reconnect with people in the summer,” Niemiec said. Funds raised will go for special needs at Crusader, she said.

Cost to attend is $30 per person or $50 per couple. The reservation deadline is July 9.  For more information, call the Crusaders Health Foundation at 815-490-1620.
