Wine, Beer & Chocolate Tasting to Benefit AYJ Fund
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The AYJ Fund will hold its popular fundraiser featuring "Wine, Chocolate and Craft Beer Tasting" on Sunday, Nov. 2, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Freight Yard Pub.
All proceeds will support children with cancer in the local community and beyond. For a $30 donation, attendees can enjoy a selection of craft beers from Wandering Star Craft Brewery, Bright Ideas Brewing, Berkshire Brewing Company, and Grazie. Guests can also partake of samples from Chocolate Springs, the Village Chocolate Shoppe and cookies from Gimme Some Sugar.
There will also be the popular wine pull, silent auction, music and more, all to support the AYJ Fund and children with cancer.
The AYJ Fund provides "Smiles" packages and fun experiences for children with cancer, technology to keep them connected to friends, school and family, and funding for research to find effective treatments and, one day, a cure.
The fund has provided over 5,900 Smiles and more than $1.5 million to advance brain cancer research.
It was created in honor of Anna Arabia, who was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer her first year at Drury High School and died at the age of 16. Throughout her 3 1/2 years of treatment, she was always interested in helping others who were having a difficult time and the AYJ Fund continues to share her love and support.
