OSWEGO, IL — Oswego's latest event, the inaugural Wine Off The Fox, is happening this Saturday. It's not only a wine tasting but also a breast cancer benefit concert.
Wine Off the Fox is scheduled to last from 2-7 p.m. at Venue 1012, 1012 Station Drive. Guests will have the chance to enjoy more than 18 varieties of wine, plus several cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages.
Being set during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, three organizations — Rush Copley/Waterford Place Cancer Resource Center, Edward Foundation Breast Program Fund and the American Cancer Society — will receive 10 percent of the event's ticket proceeds. A silent auction, both online and on-site, will help raise additional funds for the three groups.
