HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – On October 23, The Roundhouse will open its doors for a family‑friendly fundraiser called Wicked Wine Down. The evening, running from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., is organized to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Tennessee Valley (BBBSTV), a nonprofit that pairs children with caring adult mentors throughout the region.
CEO and President Meghan Parks and Events Manager Chris Talley spoke with 48 News anchor Demetria Green about what attendees can expect. “We’re excited to bring the community together for a night of fun while supporting a cause that strengthens families and neighborhoods,” Parks said.
The event promises a full lineup of entertainment. Live music will set a festive tone, while a dance floor invites guests to move to upbeat tunes. A costume contest encourages participants to showcase creative Halloween attire, and a silent auction offers a chance to bid on donated items ranging from local artwork to restaurant gift certificates.
Tickets are priced at $55 when purchased online and $65 at the door. All proceeds will help BBBSTV expand its mentorship opportunities, allowing more children across the Tennessee Valley to be matched with positive adult role models. The organization emphasizes that strong mentorship relationships are a cornerstone of healthy family life and community stability.
“Mentorship changes lives,” Talley explained. “When a child has a reliable adult in their corner, it builds confidence, improves school performance, and reinforces the values that families hold dear.” The fundraiser aligns with the nonprofit’s broader mission to nurture the next generation of responsible citizens rooted in faith, family, and personal liberty.
Community members are encouraged to attend, dress in costume, and support a cause that directly benefits local youth. For those unable to join in person, the organization’s website provides information on how to donate or volunteer throughout the year.
How to Get Involved
Tickets can be purchased through the event’s online portal, linked on the Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Tennessee Valley website. In addition to attending the wine‑down, supporters may consider becoming a mentor, donating directly to the program, or helping spread the word to friends and neighbors.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Tennessee Valley has a long history of fostering positive adult‑child relationships that reinforce traditional family values and community cohesion. By supporting this event, Huntsville residents help ensure that more children receive the guidance and encouragement they need to thrive.
