alley's house Hosts Unique Wine Tasting Event to Benefit Programs Empowering Teen Mothers

alley's house, a nonprofit dedicated to helping teen mothers and their children achieve independence through support services, education and mentoring, is hosting its 5th Annual Wine Tasting fundraising event. This fundraiser will help benefit the education and support service programs that enable dozens of Dallas-area teen mothers and their children to break the cycle of poverty and welfare. In addition to the wine tasting, there is a special opportunity to win a vintage 1959 Rolls Royce, valued over $33,000. There are only 500 tickets being sold for the Rolls Royce raffle.

The vehicle has been donated to alley's house for this event by Dallas businessman Chad Willis, president of energy investment firm Texas Energy Holdings.

"alley's house has served 650 teen mothers and their children since our inception more than ten years ago; we are very appreciative of the generous donations and support from the Dallas community, making it possible for us to continue helping teen mothers gain independence and achieve productive goals," said Allison Whitehead, executive director of alley's house. "The wine tasting event is a way to enjoy some great wines, gather with old and new friends, and have a chance to win a spectacular Rolls Royce!"
