IA&B SUPPORTS MAKE-A-WISH

IA&B joined with Trusted Choice – the consumer-facing brand of the Big I, our national affiliate in Pennsylvania and Delaware – to support Make-A- Wish Greater Pennsylvania & West Virginia’s 19th Annual Grapevine: A Wine Tasting Event.

Held in downtown Pittsburgh in late May, the fundraiser brought in over $85,000 for Make-A-Wish. The money raised is enough to grant the wishes of 19 area children with critical illnesses.

Trusted Choice was the wine glass sponsor for the event. Local IA&B members attended the fundraiser as representatives of Trusted Choice.
