Donate Wine to the Bronx Science 2023 Wine Pull.
An easy and helpful way to participate in our annual gala is to donate a bottle of wine for our Wine Pull. A wine pull is a fun activity that takes place during the gala. Gala attendees can purchase (or pull) a number to win the corresponding wrapped, mystery bottle of wine from our donated collection. We’ll have some very special high-end wines to generate extra excitement throughout the evening!
Please consider donating a bottle (or several!) of any type of wine (red, white, rose, sparkling etc.). We encourage that the minimum cost of each bottle be $20 so that everyone gets a winner, but we appreciate ALL donations!
