Child Health Association hosting virtual fundraiser
The Child Health Association of Sewickley has been dedicated to caring for children in our area for the past century. The all-volunteer organization typically produces a biennial play in conjunction with a black-tie optional gala to raise money in support of children’s causes in Western Pennsylvania. Because of the pandemic, a virtual wine tasting and skit will be held at 6 p.m. Feb. 27.
The virtual wine tasting will be led by Claire Ducrocq Weinkauf, winemaker and owner of Calistoga, Calif.-based Picayune Cellars. Picayune has been featured as a “Best Wine Destination” in Wine Enthusiast Magazine, with many wines, including those that are part of the tasting, having been honored with a 90-point score in the magazine. The skit to accompany the wine tasting will have a distinctly Sewickley take on the experience of lockdown during the pandemic.
Child Health’s mission is to nurture the whole child by supporting, through charitable giving and volunteer service, programs and services that address children’s emotional, physical, educational, cultural and recreational needs.
