Drink Pink - Cancer Fund raising - May 19


Drink Pink!
Saturday, May 19 2-5 PM

@ Pour Richard's Wine and Spirits
14 Grove Street, Franklin


Once a year, we combine our delight with spring's new dry rosé with our passion to aid the fight against cancer.

We invite all our favorite suppliers in to pour delicious rosé, but also summer-ready reds and whites, spirits, beer, and cocktails. Because we haven't convinced everyone to drink rosé ... yet!

Your Drink Pink 'ticket' - a lovely, custom-etched Riedel glass- is a 100% donation to Milford Regional's Dana Farber Cancer Care Center. We will also be donating a share of the day's sales.

The only remaining ingredient needed to make this a resounding success? You - our adventurous, generous, and utterly fabulous customers.

Please consider joining us and bringing your friends for a fun, tasty, and purposeful day!
