Uncork the Cure – a festival involving wine, food and music – will contribute funds for research into the causes of and cure for children's gliomas or brain tumors.
On Saturday, July 24, from 1-8 p.m., representatives from award-winning wineries will be pouring choice vintages from stations located up and down Rocky River's Linda Street, which is near the city's eastern border.
Michael Chiarello Vineyards, Groth, Duckhorn, Loosen Brothers, Clarendon Hills, Penfold, William Hill and Neiman Cellars are just some of the twenty renowned wineries that will be present and serving at the festival.
The event also offers gourmet cheese and meats stations, a limited 32-team bocce tournament sponsored by Peroni Beer, and an 8 p.m. concert, The Oak Barrel Bash; its center stage will be occupied by Shucking Bubba Deluxe, a cover band from Columbus.
The fundraising event is benefiting The Prayers from Maria Foundation, which is dedicated to funding global research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for children's gliomas.
Advanced tickets are $30/each and can be secured at the Prayers From Maria website, www.PrayersFromMaria.org. Otherwise, tickets can be purchased for $40/each at the event.
