2011 Grapes for Grades to benefit Hollywood Scholarship Foundation

Since 2003, the Greater Hollywood Chamber and the Hollywood Florida Scholarship Foundation have joined forces to present the ultimate wine tasting experience in South Florida – Grapes for Grades!  This spectacular wine tasting and fundraising event has helped provide much needed benefits for local high school graduating seniors who are in need of financial aid in order to continue in their educational careers into colleges and universities.

The Hollywood Florida Scholarship Foundation (HFSF) is a 501(c)3 organization that assists High School graduates by providing college scholarships to deserving seniors from local Hollywood, Florida area high schools.

UF student Karolina Dominguez says, “[The Hollywood Florida Scholarship Foundation] scholarship has been a great help in paying for my first two years at the University of Florida, and it will aid me in my finances as I enter the [school’s] nursing program”.

Also, recipients have the opportunity to continue receiving scholarship funds all through their college tenure so long as they maintain the appropriate Grade Point Average (GPA) and if they demonstrate a required need for financial aid. During the past 8 years, the Grapes for Grades event has raised almost $200,000 dollars for the Scholarship Foundation and has sponsored and assisted approximately 225 students.

Join us at the Hollywood Marriott on Hollywood Beach this year for the 8th annual Grapes for Grades. It is an upscale evening of wine tasting, gourmet food & hors d’oeuvre, live jazz music, a silent auction and a chance to  win a vacation on a luxurious cruise for two and all for a great cause!

Friday Sept. 23, 2011 6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
