For the seventh year in a row, the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance is partnering with area wineries and business to raise money for the Blue Mountain Action Council with their Barrel Full of Money fundraiser.

 

One barrel will be placed at the Olive Marketplace and Café for the kickoff event which is Wednesday, October 25th. A second barrel will move around to various businesses until mid-December.

 

The campaign has raised nearly $93,000 since it was created in 2011.

 

In addition to the barrel there will also be an auction and wine reception on December 7th and a raffle where the winner will receive two tickets on Alaska Airlines.

 

Donations can also be made online.
