The village of Oswego will host the Pouring for Pink: Breast Cancer Benefit Concert from 2 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12 at Venue 1012 at 1012 Station Drive in Oswego.
The inaugural event, presented by TR Miller Heating, Cooling and Plumbing, will include live music along with a selection of wine and other beverages, according to a press release about the concert.
Pouring for Pink will feature performances by two tribute bands: Billy Elton performing hits from Billy Joel and Elton John from 2:45 to 4:45 p.m. and Dancing Queen: An ABBA Salute from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Attendees will also have the chance to participate in a silent auction, with all of the proceeds benefiting breast cancer support services.
A special Breast Cancer Survivor Celebration will take place at 4:50 p.m., where survivors will share their stories, according to the release.
Doors will open at 2 p.m., with a variety of beverages available for purchase. Food vendors will also be on-site. Attendees may also bring their own food and chairs, but outside beverages are not allowed, officials said in the release.
During the event, 10% of net ticket and wine sales will benefit three organizations: Waterford Place, The Edward Foundation and the American Cancer Society. These funds will directly contribute to breast cancer support services, according to the release.
Pouring for Pink is a new event and distinct from other wine events produced by the village, officials said. Glasses of wine – 5-ounce servings – will be available for individual purchase only, and this year’s event will not include wine-tasting packages or one-ounce servings.
