For just $100, you could win a $5,000 trip for two to Mendoza during the annual Vendimia Wine Harvest Festival—and help make international travel possible for a Nashville student. Last year, this fundraiser helped send 7 Nashville students abroad. This year, our goal is 10 students. With approximately $3,500 needed to send one student on an international exchange, every ticket helps create an experience that can change a young person’s perspective—and their future. Only 500 tickets are available, so get yours today and join us in helping more Nashville students see the world. The drawing and wine tasting will take place October 16, 2026, and the winning trip is February 28–March 8, 2027. Get your ticket or donate today -- take a chance on Mendoza and give a student a chance to see the world! Get Your Raffle Ticket
