Second annual wine tasting at Fantasy Springs will benefit Rosie's Kids

INDIO, California -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Rosie’s Kids is hosting its second annual wine and cheese tasting fundraiser in the 12th Floor Wine Bar at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino Thursday, November 1, from 6pm to 9pm. The cost is $40 Individual and $75 Couple. Come sip delicious wine and enjoy cheese while listening to an amazing young jazz artist.

This year, participants will be treated to the music of 14-year-old jazz saxophonist Christopher Astoquillca, who is quickly becoming a recognized young name on the music scene. Astoquillca attends the Ramon Cortines School of Visual and Performing Arts in Los Angeles. He plays multiple instruments including piano, guitar, flute, percussion and clarinet but will be showcasing his skills on the sax. At such a young age, Astoquillca already builds arrangements for big-band artists and is now starting to build his own musical compositions as well.

Rosie’s Kids strives to make extracurricular activities more affordable for children and their families. Rosie Welmas, founder of Rosie’s Kids, says her organization was started because of the need she saw firsthand while coaching a group of children’s cheerleading squads. The organization helps offset the high cost of supplies needed to participate in extracurricular activities for children throughout the Coachella Valley, and helps them to become well-rounded individuals.
