It’s going to be an entertaining night out, but with benefits.
Eat, Drink & Be Giving is throwing a charity event at the Plaza Colonial from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. on Friday, November 1.
The event will be filled with samplings from local restaurants, breweries, and wineries, and have live music and a silent auction.
It’s a collaborative event benefiting the local non-profits Arizona Youth Partnership and Interfaith Community Services. Near the end of the evening, the two groups will compete in a friendly “Grape Stomp for a Cause,” which will also raise money to end poverty.
Tickets start at $40 per person and include food, beverage samples, and a souvenir glass.

Matt Sterner
More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
