Seattle's premiere wine and shoe event, Sips & Shoes, is returning for a 4th year to the Grand Hyatt in Downtown Seattle on Sunday, November 8th from 4 – 7pm.  Over 30 NW wineries and the latest fashions from Seattle’s hottest shoe stores are the backdrop to hundreds of shoes up for auction at this year’s event. John Curly, MC and Auctioneer, will keep the excitement high as guests sip and shop - all to raise funds for deserving kids at Ryther Child Center.

Attendees are asked to donate a pair of new or barely worn shoes to the event for the silent auction.  A short live auction will also be part of the evening’s fundraising festivities including a Grand Prize drawing for 2 tickets to the American Idol Finale and an opportunity for guests to contribute to the Ryther Kid’s Shoe Fund.  Wineries will be showcasing their newest releases to taste with a limited selection available to purchase through the on-site wine store hosted by Ryther.

Nationally accredited, Ryther Child Center provides comprehensive behavioral health care to children and their families struggling with issues of child abuse and neglect, mental illness and chemical dependency. For more information, visit www.ryther.org.

Tickets are $40 and available by visiting www.rytherleague.org
