FAQ for The Prelude
Can I attend just The Prelude without attending Wine About Cancer?
No, this event is reserved for ticket holders only. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Did you miss out on tickets this year? Join the waiting list or sign up at the bottom of the website to be added to the email list and be the first to know when tickets go on sale for next year.
Will cigars be at Wine About Cancer too?
No. NICHE (WSU Tech) is a smokeless campus, and no smoking will be allowed on the 4th floor. The JINYA space is privately own and has granted us permission to smoke on the patio for this event.
Where do I add my guest names?
Why the random price of $57?
As nod to our meaningful yet ambitious fundraising goal of $57,000 in honor of Deanna Leinen, who would’ve celebrated her 57th birthday a few days after the event.
Will tickets be sold at the door?
No tickets will be sold at the door. Sales will end on Tuesday, April 14th, or upon selling out.
I’m a sponsor, do I get free access?
While we’d love to host everyone this is a separately ticketed event with limited space, serving as an additional fundraising effort to help us reach our goal. We appreciate your understanding and support. and hope you decide to join us!
