Wine-d Down with Wings June 30 at Prairie Crossing
Wings of Hope Cancer Support Center is launching a new summer event to raise funds for its virtual mental health services.
Wine-D Down with Wings is set for Thursday, June 30, from 6:00 to 9:00pm at Prairie Crossing Vineyard and Winery in Treynor, Iowa.
The evening will include wine from the vineyard, appetizers from the Chef Around the Block, live music by singer/songwriter Paul Hart, an art exhibition featuring the work of Council Bluffs artist Lorelle Carr and more. Carr will donate a percentage of the evening’s art sales to Wings. To view her work, visit http://lorellecarr.com.
Tickets are $30 per person and $50 per couple. Each ticket holder will receive a commemorative wine glass. The registration deadline is June 24. Wings of Hope is also selling $5 raffle tickets for a chance to win a 22” heavy duty enameled kettle grill valued at $265.
Wings of Hope Executive Director Carolyn Ettinger said the need for mental health services for cancer patients and their care partners has never been higher. She cited a study published by the National Institute of Health that reports an alarmingly high rate of stress, depression and anxiety among patients with cancer, exceeding those previously benchmarked in this population and on par with noncancer patients with post-traumatic stress disorder.
“Wings of Hope is thrilled to be able to offer virtual programming to those who are unable to meet in person – the chance to talk to others and share your cancer story can make a big difference in your total health,” she said.
