Fundraising

Any non-profit organization is faced with funding challenges. Many can rely on grants, but others have to turn to their members in order to raise funds. The League of Women Voters in Butte County has been extremely fortunate in our efforts to raise money to support our initiatives. For the last 36 years we have held an annual Wine Tasting and Light Buffet. This single event generates enough revenue to fund our organization's mission in the areas of Voter Service and Advocacy.

Each spring the Butte County community turns out in droves to support the League through this elegant event. Held for the last several years at Lakeside Pavilion, we usually draw a crowd of over 500. Local, national, and international wines are featured with help from our partners - Vino 100 wine shop and Monks Wine Lounge. Many people come for the wonderful food as well. Our menu features dishes which have become synonymous with our League chapter - Dolma's and Tiropete's - among a fabulous spread of cheeses, fruit, and other buffet appetizers.

Nearly all League members participate in the event. In addition to selling four tickets, members contribute in a myriad of ways - from set up to food preparation, from decorating to wine stewards - there's a role for most of our 150 local members. When their shifts are over, members also get time to relax and enjoy the wine tasting. The public generally starts lining up to get in the door a half-hour before the doors open and some have even been known to stay and help clean up. The League of Women Voter's Wine Tasting Fundraiser has definitely gained a reputation of being a fun, community event in addition to a worth-while cause.

Thank you all for your continued support of the League!
