Hacienda del Sol Hosts Fundraiser for Local Cancer Research Through Premium Wine Tasting and Sale
November 21, 2008 – Tucson, Ariz. – Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch Resort is opening its award-winning wine cellar to benefit cancer research.
The Tucson landmark Hacienda del Sol is proud to host a Corks for Cancer event, benefiting the Arizona Cancer Center at UMC North. This charity event will be a premium wine tasting and sale on Thursday, December 4, 2008, from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. held in the newly redecorated Casa Feliz Room.
Corks for Cancer is a year long fundraising initiative developed by MaRKeT Restaurant Group to benefit the Arizona Cancer Center at UMC North. MaRKeT Restaurant Group consists of The Grill at Hacienda del Sol, Zona 78 and Harvest, their newest concept restaurant opening November 24. For every bottle of wine sold at one of the MaRKeT Restaurant locations, $1 will be donated to the Arizona Cancer Center at UMC North. By keeping the money local, MaRKeT restaurants are able to enrich the Tucson community while joining in the collective fight against cancer.
Hacienda del Sol proudly received “Wine Enthusiast” magazine’s highest level of award, the 2007 Award of Ultimate Distinction, for its impressive wine cellar that encompasses over 25,000 bottles from approximately 2,200 labels. A selection of Hacienda del Sol’s premium wines will be offered in the tastings, as well as for purchase, at the Corks for Cancer charity event.
The evening will also be highlighted with gourmet hors d’oeuvres prepared by the renowned Grill at Hacienda del Sol, located on the exquisite hotel grounds. In addition, a silent auction featuring large format wines, hotel stays and more will help to raise funds for the Arizona Cancer Center at UMC North, the state’s premier National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center.
Tickets for the event cost $50.00 per person and must be purchased in advance, as spaces are limited. Ticket purchases should be made by calling 520-529-3500.
