Lawrence Habitat for Humanity plans Saturday fundraiser

Lawrence Habitat for Humanity will host a wine-tasting and virtual auction fundraiser on Saturday.

Live music and a dinner will also be part of the event, which will start at 6 p.m. in Abe & Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St.

Tickets to the event are $40 for individuals and $280 for a table of eight. Proceeds go toward construction of a home for the Luis and Tammy Mendoza family. Guests will be treated to wines from around the country and there will be a cash bar.

“I’m not much of a wine person but I’ve been told that we’ll be providing some of the finest wines around,” Habitat executive director Jeremy Hahn said.

There will be live music acts, including the Kansas University Symphony Orchestra, a jazz band and a salsa band. The salsa band will begin playing at 10 p.m.

The dinner will be provided by Texas Roadhouse. If you want to attend call 832-0777.
