United Boys & Girls Club of Santa Barbara County (UBGC) has announced Corks for Kids, its first fundraising event in the Santa Ynez and Buellton community, will be held 6-8 p.m. Friday, April 20, at the Santa Ynez Valley Marriott.

The event will have a casino theme, and included with a ticket purchase is an initial buy-in of funny money for the table games. Appetizers will be served to pair with beer and wine tastings from local vendors.

“We are excited to finally be hosting an event in the valley since we opened our Buellton club this past August,” said Erynn Wanek, vice president of development for UBGC.
