10th Annual Magnums Make a Difference

Events

Making It Better is thrilled to bring you Magnums Make A Difference, our 10th annual unique wine event that will bring wine lovers together to help us transform lives through literacy. The event will take place on Saturday, September 29, 2018, at The St. Regis Houston.

The event features a multi-course gourmet meal paired with your favorite large format bottles to foster an atmosphere of sharing. Enjoy a fun night of fine dining and the opportunity to bid on great silent and live auction items to raise funds that will be used to serve some of Houston’s most vulnerable children.

Since 2007, Making It Better has been transforming communities by empowering children and their families through literacy, leadership and life skills. All programs provide a foundation for academic success by promoting literacy development and students’ social/emotional learning.
