MINT HILL, NC – It’s time to mark your calendars for Mint Hill’s social event of the season! The Mint Hill Women’s Club annual Sip, Savor, Support fundraiser will take place on March 2 at Pine Lake Country Club.
The silent auction kicks off at 6:00, but you’ll want to get there when the doors open at 5:30 to register and peruse over 30 themed raffle baskets. “We have more than 90 local businesses who participate either with gift cards or products,” says fundraising co-chair Andree West. This year’s raffle baskets will span popular themes like St. Patty’s Day, chocolate lovers, pickleball, game night, gardening and pampering! Raffle tickets will be sold at the event, and winners will be drawn at 7:30. Note that you must be present to claim your winnings!
Bidding opens on silent auction items at 6:00 pm. Items up for auction include a sketch by Dennis the Menace artist Marcus Hamilton, a wine class for 20 from Total Wine, and art from local artists. It may be held by the Women’s Club, but make no mistake: this isn’t a women’s only event. With items like a round of golf at Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation, a tour for ten of Rick Hendrick’s private corvette collection, and Charlotte Hornets tickets up for grabs, everyone is sure to find something that suits their tastes.
Every ticket to Sip, Savor, Support includes a tasting card to sample ten unique wines and beers. Every year, the Women’s Club works with experts to create a unique and varied selection of wines that go beyond what may be available in your local grocery store.
