Thirst for the Cure 2011

Thirst for the Cure, an annual event started in 2009, raises funds to help with urgent medical expenses for members of Oklahoma City's hospitality industry. Through our charitable foundation, Restaurants & Racquets, we are able to give something back to the hard-working employees of our independent restaurants and country clubs.

2011 marks the third year for the event and also boasts the best lineup of wineries so far! 30+ wineries pouring more than 150 wines! As you walk around and sample food from some of Oklahoma City's best restaurants, you'll be able to meet and interact with winemakers from Australia, New Zealand, Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Washington, Oregon, and California. These vintners, who represent some of the best wines available in the country, are coming all the way to Oklahoma to help raise money for our cause.
