Ed. Note: The following is a news release provided by the Castaic Education Foundation.

The Castaic Education Foundation will be hosting their “Sweethearts for Education” Wine Tasting event at Salt Creek Grille in early February.

The event will support the foundation’s efforts to maintain high quality programs for students.

The event will begin at 6 p.m. on Feb. 4 with appetizers and desserts as well as a series of wine tastings. There will also be a silent auction, prize drawings and a raffle held at the event.

The donations received from past events have allowed the foundation to help establish computer, science and art labs at each of the elementary schools in the district.

Last year, the foundation awarded over $12,000 in grants to teachers with the Castaic Union School District for the resources needed for innovative educational projects and programs.

“For those who have attended our event, they know how relaxing and fun it is and they have a wonderful time,” said an official with the Castaic Education Foundation. “I think its proximity to Valentine’s Day and the fact that it supports excellent educational programs in our community really brings people out ready to celebrate. Not to mention the wonderful location, food, and great wines.”

Tickets are available for $50 each by contacting Diane Fiero at (661) 373-4574.
