Scholarship founders Daniel and Maria Walters at the Margate Business Association's 20th annual Wine Tasting Friday, July 28, 2023.
Since its inception, the scholarship program, founded by the Walters as a way to give back to the community, has awarded more than $130,000 to students who have attended Margate City schools. The event also supports the MBA’S Children Fund, which anonymously provides warm clothing, school supplies, food, eyeglasses, summer camp for latch key children, toys and more for children of the Margate schools.
The event provides summer excitement with its live auction hosted by auctioneer Lou Solomon, and a silent auction consisting of items donated by local businesses, from show tickets, golf packages and overnight stays to sports memorabilia, bicycles and boutique gift certificates. Items up for auction will be posted online at BidPal before and during the event.
The event, which is co-chaired by Realtors Paula Hartman and Dana Hartman-Hiltner, includes music, dancing, amazing food, Jagielky’s chocolates, and tastings of wine and craft beers and spirits.
Tickets, which usually sell out early, are $100 per person. The MBA is currently seeking sponsorships and donations.
