The Verona High School Swim Team Parents Association is holding an “Evening of Experiences” food and wine fundraiser to benefit the team, which just completed its first season of competition.
The event will be held on Friday, April 20, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Verona Community Center. There will be dinner dishes from local restaurant supporters including Frank Anthony’s, Zaferon Grill, Esposito’s and the Verona Inn, a wine tasting hosted by certified sommelier Kurt Fauerbach, and a craft beer sampling. Attendees can also try their luck at winning a wide variety of “Experiences” from team supporters including Verona Yoga, Garden State Escape, Decorating Den Interiors by Valerie Ruddy, North Jersey Tennis Academy, Twin Willows Golf, Elements Massage and more.
Tickets are $45 per person and can be purchased online through Eventbrite, or by contacting Susan Hunt at 973-907-3131 (text) or by email at [email protected].
The Verona High School swim team is a pay-to-play team that receives no funding from the Verona Board of Education. Proceeds from this event will be used to offset the swimmer participation fee and make the team accessible for all interested swimmers.
The VHS swim team had its inaugural season this past winter, with 22 swimmers of all levels and ability participating. The team was surprisingly competitive against long-standing high school teams, turning in several first place and top three individual and relay finishes.
