Adirondack Winery hosting ‘Drink Pink’ fundraiser
QUEENSBURY, N.Y. » Adirondack Winery recently set a fundraising goal of $20,000 for its 11th annual “Drink Pink” breast cancer awareness campaign.
A portion of all direct-toconsumer sales through Oct. 31 will be donated to the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of the Adirondacks. Last year the winery met its $20,000 goal, bringing its total fundraising efforts to over $100,000 donated in the last eleven years.
“In the eleven years that we have done this fundraiser, I have spoken with so many customers and employees who have had their lives directly impacted by breast cancer,” said Adirondack Winery President & Co-Owner Sasha Pardy in a news release. “Beyond giving us an opportunity to raise money for a very worthy cause, Drink Pink is our chance to rally behind those in our community who need our support, to let them know we’re in their corner.”
During “Drink Pink,” Adirondack Winery will offer a variety of specialty products that will help support the fundraiser. This includes its limited edition “Drink Pink Berry Breeze” wine. This special version of its popular mixed berry rosé is given a pink cap (Donated by Waterloo Container) and label only available during the fundraiser.
The winery is hosting several events at the Queensbury Tasting Room, listed below. Raffle tickets are also for sale during the campaign for unique gift baskets and items that include overnight stays, gift cards, wine, accessories, products, and services graciously donated by other Lake George and other Capital Region businesses.
Guests are encouraged to visit Adirondack Winery any day in the month of October to help support the fundraiser. Adirondack Winery has Tasting Rooms in both Lake George and Queensbury (current hours & directions available at adkwinery.com/locations). Those unable to make it to the Tasting Rooms can support the fundraiser online at adkwinery. com/drinkpink. The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of the Adirondacks walk at City Park in Glens Falls is on Oct. 22, and is a great way to support the American Cancer Society.
“The Adirondack Winery’s Drink Pink efforts has become a highlight I look forward to each year,” Nick Liporace, Senior Development Manager of ACS, said in the release. “Last year their dedication to the community through this cause earned them a regional award and helped us reach heights we had not seen since before the pandemic. I am inspired and in awe of their team as their staff partner but also as a caregiver and customer.”
