Wine tasting to help fund school

Achieve Plant City will once again host its annual Wine Tasting and Silent Auction Fundraiser on Friday, Feb. 18, 2022.

The event will be from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and held at the Hillsborough Community College – Trinkle Center, 1206 N. Park Rd., in Plant City.

The proceeds collected will help Achieve Plant City provide necessary equipment and learning materials to push its mission of education forward. The school helps to teach fundamental skills such as learning to speak English and how to read. It’s a service for disadvantaged families that takes on adults and their children as students.

Angelica Ibarra is the founder of Achieve and has seen success stories as her students have obtained an education and have gone on to prosper.

“We prepare young children to succeed in school through our early childhood and after-school enrichment programs,” Ibarra said. “We offer adult literacy education and parenting workshops so that the parents are better prepared to support their children’s education and development. We believe that by helping children and families develop a strong educational foundation, the places they can go will be limitless.”

Last year was an eventful time for Achieve as it had moved into its new location at the Wesley Centre and it celebrated its 10-year anniversary.

Wine enthusiasts are welcomed to offer their support to help the school continue its momentum forward. Individual tickets are $75.

The $300 achieve supporter donation will offer one high-top table at the event for up to four guests.

The $600 book-lover donation will come with one table and accepts up to eight guests.

The $1,000 author donation will offer not only a table for up to eight guests, but also a chance for a business to have its logo posted on event materials.

The $2,500 poet donation will come with a table for up to eight guests, allows businesses to advertise themselves with logos on event materials, plus recognition from the presenters and two bottles of wine.

And the $5,000 scholar donation will offer two tables with up to 16 guests and businesses can have their logos advertised on event materials. In addition to being recognized by the presenters, the donor will have the opportunity to speak before the audience and will be granted two bottles of wine for each table.

Reservations are to be made by Friday, Feb. 11.
