In order to make the OAFP Foundation’s 2017 fundraising activities a success, we are seeking wine donations for the Annual Wine Cork Pull!
What is The Wine Cork Pull?
- A wine cork pull is a popular event at many auctions.
- Approximately 50-100 bottles of wine are donated by individuals, businesses, and others.
- Wine bottle values should be a minimum of $20; however, fine wine donations are greatly appreciated and will make the Wine Cork Pull more enticing. The value of the donated wine is considered a tax-deductible, charitable contribution.
- Each bottle is randomly numbered.
- At the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians Members Assembly, on Saturday, August 12, participants may buy a cork for $20.
- Participants will exchange their cork for the corresponding numbered bottle of wine. Will it be a table wine or vintage wine? It’s a surprise, but one you’ll certainly enjoy!
How, When, and Where to Donate
- Wine donations may be made in “memory of” or “honor of” your special someone. You may want to group together with peers and pool resources and donate a high priced wine or a case of wine. Businesses are also invited to donate in their name. Cash donations are welcome and will be used to support fundraising activities.
- Please donate your bottles of wine from now until Friday, August 4.
- For more information, contact Director of Events and Foundation Programs Kaitlin McGuffie. Drop your bottle(s) of wine at the Foundation office (4075 N. High St., Columbus, OH 43214) or bring them with you to the Members Assembly on Saturday, August 12.
- Please include the wine donation form with your bottle(s).If you plan to bring your donation with you onsite, please fill out the form and send it in before Friday, August 4, so appropriate set-up plans can be made.
All proceeds from the 2017 Fundraising Activities will directly help cultivate student career choice in the specialty of family medicine by supporting the Foundation’s programs.
We hope to have your support to make this year’s fundraising activities a huge success!
