The Glancy Wine Education Fund paired food, wine, and fun for its October 21 scholarship fundraiser.

A 501(c)3 nonprofit, the Glancy Wine Education Fund offers scholarships to low-income members of the wine trade. Last year, requests for tuition assistance exceeded $100,000. Ninety-seven percent of applicants were either unemployed or made less than a living wage in their current positions. This year, some scholarships will be earmarked for trade professionals who are newly unemployed due to the North Coast fires.
