Happy Hour for Hope at Wilfred’s Lounge

NEWS, the nonprofit agency providing domestic violence and sexual abuse services for Napa Valley, will hold its Happy Hour for Hope fundraiser at Wilfred’s Lounge on Oct. 2, from 6 to 8 p.m. Don your favorite aloha shirts and hula skirts for this Hawaiian-themed event, presented by Kaiser Permanente in October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Guests will be greeted with a lei and island tunes. Each ticket includes a welcome drink, passed pupus and entry into a raffle for wine. Guests can bid on additional raffle prizes, like three-day passes to BottleRock 2025, an instant cellar and fun things to do around the Napa Valley. All prize donations support NEWS. Raffle tickets are $50 apiece on the website or at the event. Following their recent distinction as a Non-Profit of the Year, NEWS has a goal of raising net $25,000 through ticket and raffle sales at the event.  The Happy Hour for Hope fundraiser is just one piece of NEWS’ Domestic Violence Awareness Month campaign. NEWS will also host its annual “fund a need” to support its shelter’s operations and provide emergency housing for domestic violence victims.
