Downtown Boise Association and CellarPass Support Women’s & Children’s Alliance
San Francisco, CA
“It only takes a single person to affect change in our community and we are so very grateful to be the recipient of the generosity of so many,” said Bea Black, Executive Director for the WCA. “The funds raised through this festive evening will help those who are in vulnerable and often dangerous situations and need the shelter, counseling and other critical life-saving services we can offer at the WCA—free of charge—because of the generosity of our community.” “We are humbled and grateful and look forward to next year’s event.”
With the event sold out, each Downtown Boise Holiday Sip & Stroll attendee received a limited-edition souvenir glass to sip, swirl and enjoy local Idaho wines and craft beers around downtown Boise, paired with local specials at restaurants and shops, including Bella Brewing, Calle 75 Street Tacos, Cinder Wines, Coiled Wines, Flatbread Neapolitan Pizzeria, Jack’s Urban Meeting Place (JUMP), Marla June’s, Potter Wines, Meraki Greek Street Food, Molly's Healthy Pet Food Market, The North Face, Sawtooth Winery, Split Rail Winery, Ste. Chapelle, West Elm and White Dog Brewing.
The evening’s climax was held at West Elm in Boise where tasting passholders gathered for a chance to win over $2000 in prizes provided by local shops and CellarPass.
“This was a fun event that we loved being a part of here at White Dog Brewing,” stated Sara Thomas, Manager, White Dog Brewing. “People were happy and smiling and to know that the money raised went to the WAC made it even better…when’s the next one?!”
“The Sip & Shop was a fabulous addition to our December First Thursday event as it not only connected numerous downtown businesses and encouraged visitors to mix, mingle, and be merry, but also contributed to a very worthwhile local non-profit organization,” said Kathy O'Neill, Community Engagement Director,
Jack's Urban Meeting Place. “We loved it and were pleased with the outcome!”
“It felt really good to see so many people come together to support the Women’s & Children’s Alliance of Boise,” said Jonathan Elliman, Co-Founder of CellarPass. “So many folks that we ran into about town that night said it was the most well-attended ‘First Thursday’ event they’ve ever seen. The response was so great, we are already in the early stages of producing the next Boise Sip & Shop event for June 4, 2020, so stay tuned.”
The inaugural Boise Holiday Sip & Stroll was made possible with the dedicated support and contributions from CellarPass, Yelp Boise, Downtown Boise Association, Idaho State Tourism and Women’s & Children’s Alliance with additional support from RePop Gifts, Wallace Brewing and Walla Walla Clothing Co.
