The Bent Tree Foundation’s first wine tasting event, “Wines of the World”, was held in 2012. It has since become an annual event held at Club Tamarack. Such Patel, owner of Trouts Beverages in Jasper, GA, graciously sponsors this fundraiser. Multiple beverage distributors give their time and their wines to make this an enormously enjoyable fundraiser for all of the attendees. As always, there is an incredible spread of delicious hors d’oeuvres. In addition to the fine food, the wonderful wines and the lovely live music, courtesy of Andy and Mary Ada Kidd, the event also provides some great prizes for those lucky enough to buy winning raffle tickets.
The funds raised from this wonderful evening of fun and camaraderie are used for scholarships for qualified high school seniors as well as grants to teachers throughout Pickens County to be used for special projects and/or supplies.
