On Tuesday August 18, 2009 , The Second Glass‘ Tyler Balliet, Morgan First, and Maggie Dayton attended the Yelp “Red Carpet Event” at The Harvard Museum of Natural History. The mingling of Boston’s most plugged-in elites, the party offered great music, delicious food, good drinks, and helped raise money for a really great cause. Project Smile is a non-profit organization which donates new and previously owned stuffed animals, coloring books, crayons, small toys and children’s reading books for police officers, fire fighters and paramedics to give to children involved in traumatic situations. The event helped raise $3,600!

Doing our part to help out, The Second Glass donated three sets of tickets for September’s Wine Riot to the event’s raffle. We’re excited to meet who won them at our amazing event on September 25th and 26th!

Along with our raffle winners, many of the Yelpers will be at Wine Riot, so come to schmooze and sip with the elite! See you at the Riot!
