Initial results indicate that this year's UnCorked wine-tasting fundraiser event will continue the string of successes for the Grayslake Rotary Club. Defying the threats of the coronavirus, plenty of folks bravely turned out for a fun evening of great wines, delicious food, uplifting music, delightful silent and live auction items, and an overall fantastic evening at Prairie Crossing's Byron Colby Barn in Grayslake. In partnership with the Liberty Prairie Foundation, and with the essential and greatly appreciated support of Mike Pruitt and his staff from The Vine in Grayslake, the UnCorked event, in this its 9th year, has continued to delight our attendees and to generate much needed revenues to fund the Grayslake Rotary Club's service efforts for the local and international community.
Here are the early incomplete results:
Total attendees (not including club members, Vine staff, or wine vendors) - 121
50-50 Raffle Proceeds: over $600
Live Auction Sales: over $1400
Silent Auction Sales: over $1900
Sponsorships: Over $11000
Bottom Line: A projected profit of over $11000!
The Rotary Club of Grayslake wishes to extend our deepest thanks to all of our sponsors, donors, and other supporters who made UnCorked 2020 a satisfying success. We could not do it without you!
