Bridgewood Farms ''Around the World in 180 Minutes'' most successful to date

THE WOODLANDS, Texas - Bridgewood Farms' seventh annual Around the World in 180 Minutes fundraising event featured over 15 wine tasting stations from 15 different countries, all while raising much-needed funds for programs providing services to individuals (teens and adults) with special needs.

The seventh annual Around the World in 180 Minutes was the most successful fundraiser yet for Bridgewood Farms, which significantly benefits the population they serve who have intellectual and developmental disabilities in Montgomery County. Their goal is to bridge the gap between the abilities per individual, and the resources and opportunities available in the community. Bridgewood Farms aims to enhance the quality of life through Adult Continuing Education, Special Olympics, Social & Recreational Activities, Ceramics, Horticulture, Respite Care, Physical Education, and Pre-Vocational Training.

Those who bid on the live auction items walked away with fabulous prizes, ranging from an extravagant seven-day, six-night round trip for two to Cabo San Lucas to a Houston Astros sports package with access to Club Level Suite, along with Astros collectibles and memorabilia. The silent auction included a number of spectacular items, like elegant jewelry, mosaic crosses, themed wine packages, and spa services to name a few.

Guests were provided a Passport to travel Around the World in 180 Minutes that guided you through the 18 different regions, or tasting stations, earning a country flag stamp and a one-ounce tasting of some of the most decadent wines from across the globe. Warm hors d'oeuvres, cheese selections, fruit, and sweet bites by Sweet Revenge were also provided to accompany the variety of flavors. To top it off, attendees were able to take home a commemorative glass and wine charm!

Digital Texas affiliates, Woodlands Online, Conroe Today and Spring Today, were proud media sponsors by showcasing the Bridgewood Farms’ Around the World in 180 Minutes wine tasting fundraiser.
