Wine Walk Fundraiser Uncorks Support: Kamal Constantine, the owner of the Piggly Wiggly grocery store in Fairhope, Alabama, is actively raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Constantine has been contributing to St. Jude for some time, citing the presence of children from the community undergoing treatment at St. Jude as a primary motivator.
To increase his support, Constantine organized a Wine Walk event at the Fairhope Civic Center, scheduled from 6-8 p.m. The event offers participants the opportunity to sample over 50 different wines, including selections like Pinot, Chardonnay, French, and Californian wines. The proceeds from ticket and food sales during the Wine Walk will directly benefit St. Jude.
The event also features food from the gourmet deli inside the Piggly Wiggly store, known as The International Goat, and the store’s bistro. Dishes on offer include shrimp and slaw with Smokey tomato glazed okra and crawfish gravy over deep-fried Gouda grits.
Joe Rider, the owner of R Bistro inside the store, expressed appreciation for working at a store where the owner genuinely cares about the community. Constantine’s efforts to support St. Jude, including events like the Wine Walk, contribute to the community spirit and the success of various initiatives.
