Westfield Trumbull to Host “Uncorked”
Wine and Beer Tasting Event
to Support Local Charity on October 7
Local shopping mall’s ‘sip-and-shop’ event
will benefit The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp
Save the date! Westfield Trumbull is hosting its very first Uncorked event on Saturday, October 7, 2017 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The ‘sip-and-shop’ experience invites shoppers to purchase a bracelet that will give them access to wine and beer tastings from local wineries and breweries as well as light refreshments, and shopping perks at participating retail locations. Westfield Trumbull is located at 5065 Main Street in Trumbull, Conn.
The event was organized to benefit The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. All ticket sales for the Uncorked event will be donated to The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp to help provide funds for the more than 20,000 seriously ill children and family members the organization serves annually.
“Support from community partners like Westfield Trumbull is so important in helping Hole in the Wall bring our year-round programs to the seriously ill children and families we serve,” said Andrea Keefe, manager, peer-to-peer programs at The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. “We are grateful to be the charity beneficiary of ‘Uncorked’ and are excited about the many stores, restaurants and others who are sharing their hearts with Camp for the event.”
Participating retail stores within Westfield Trumbull include: Banana Republic, Brookstone, Denali, Gift-ology, J. Jill, Lord & Taylor, Michaels Jewelers, Pandora, Sephora, Solstice, and Soma. During the Uncorked event, bracelet holders will enjoy light appetizers and a tasting of wine and/or beer from local wineries and breweries like Two Roads Brewing Company(Stratford, Conn.) and Jonathan Edwards Winery(North Stonington, Conn.). Additional wine and beer tasting will be facilitated by Lifted Spirits Bar Concierge & Staffing. To add to the experience, select retailers are offering Uncorked participants special deals and promotions including chances to win gift cards and free merchandise at J. Jill, Solstice Sunglasses, and Soma, and 20% off at Denali and Brookstone.
“At Westfield we are passionate about the important philanthropic work we do in the many communities we serve, both on a local basis and across the nation,” said Katherine Bolas, Westfield Trumbull’s Marketing Director. “Supporting causes that focus on children’s health, wellness and education is particularly important to us and to our customers, and so through this first-ever Uncorked event, we hope the Trumbull community comes together to enjoy a unique shopping experience while supporting The Hole in the Wall Gang.”
Westfield Trumbull urges participants to enjoy the event responsibly and has teamed up with Uber to provide a safe transportation option. Using the promo code WESTFIELD, new Uber users will get their first ride free (up to $15).
