Enjoy a popular wine and craft beer tasting and help support scholarships at Uncork Education at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
The UAB National Alumni Society will host the 10th annual Uncork Education at the Alumni House on Sunday, Nov. 4. The wine and craft beer tasting with heavy hors d’oeuvres and silent auction starts at 5:30 p.m., with the live auction at 7 p.m.
The evening will feature auction items, mystery prizes and other opportunities to support scholarships at UAB.
Last fall, the generosity of those who attended Uncork Education allowed the NAS to raise nearly $58,000 to support UAB student scholarships. Over the first nine years, this unique event has raised more than $400,000 to go toward scholarships.
Tickets to the 10th annual Uncork Education are $100 for couples and $60 for single tickets. For more information on Uncork Education, contact Liz McCullough at 205-934-3555 or lc90@uab.edu.
