The next Pacific Beach Town Council (PBTC) Wine and Beer Tasting and Silent Auction Fundraiser will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, July 18 at PB Woman’s Club’s Historic Hornblend Hall at 1721 Hornblend St.
The event is PBTC’s single most important fundraiser to benefit the Pacific Beach community and local schools. Residents are urged to come out and taste a variety of wines and beers, munch appetizers and support the PB Town Council.
PBTC is a qualified 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit corporation dedicated to the betterment of Pacific Beach. The organization hosts monthly community clean-ups and an annual graffiti removal day, as well as supporting area beautification projects and providing scholarships and awards for local students.
“We are taking the responsibility of repainting the PB signs at the entries on Grand and Garnet,” said PBTC office volunteer Micaela Porte, giving just one example of how the community benefits tangibly every year from the PBTC fundraiser.
Porte noted there will be non-alcoholic drinks available to those not wishing to imbibe at the July 18 fundraiser.
The centerpiece of PBTC fundraiser is the silent auction. The town council is looking to local and regional businesses for tax-deductible contributions of items that are their specialty, such as gift certificates or merchandise.
Those donating items for the fundraiser can arrange to have them picked up. PBTC also supports the Pacific Beach Recreation Center and Pacific Beach Library, as well as helping sponsor Concerts on the Green in Kate Sessions Park. The organization is also the primary organization within Pacific Beach that provides a monthly forum for local residents and business owners to discuss community issues with local elected officials/representatives and emergency services personnel.
Cost to participate in the July 18 fundraiser is $25 prior to the event, $30 at the door.
Checks for the event can be mailed to: PB Town Council, Union Bank Building, 1705 Garnet Ave., S.D., CA, 92109. Tickets can also be ordered online at www.pbtowncouncil.org.
