The evening will feature guest speaker Bob Valvano, sports broadcaster, former basketball coach and brother of Jimmy Valvano, and a six-course dinner paired with award-winning Constellation Brand wines.
The dinner will serve as a fundraiser with a portion of the proceeds from the wines purchased by Varanese going to The V Foundation for cancer research. Additionally, $10 from the $75 dinner will go to the organization to help fund early detection for lung cancer. Lung cancer is diagnosed more than any other type of cancer in Kentucky. Constellation Brands will match the donation from this dinner.
