I don’t think Will Ferrell will be in attendance, but if you’re looking for a fun event to benefit a good cause, you too may be ready to take on the Catalina Wine Mixer.
The Catalina Wine Mixer will take place at the R Bar Saturday, August 13 from 4-8 pm. A $30 admission gets you complementary Barefoot Wines, food from R Bar and a t-shirt. There will also be $1 Miller High Life and $4 shots specials.
Proceeds from this event will benefit the Buckeye Ranch, which provides hope and healing to children and families by offering family-focused mental health treatment and alcohol/drug services for children with behavioral or psychological and substance abuse disorders.
The event is hosted by the Parker Lee Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit started in 2009 by Joshua “Parker” Adkins and Kim “Lee” Niswander. “As the Parker Lee Foundation, we host events to benefit Columbus area organizations,” said Niswander. “Our thoughts are that people love to go out and have a good time, so why don’t we organize one or two events a year that friends, family and co-workers can attend, party and raise money for worthy causes at the same time.”
Tickets for the Wine Mixer must be purchased in advance and are available on the Parker Lee Foundation website.
