The Alton Memorial Hospital White Cross Auxiliary will host its annual Girls on Grapes, Boys on Brew fundraiser from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 18, at the Loading Dock, 400 Front St. in Grafton. For tickets or more information, please visit HERE.

Guests can enjoy views of the Mississippi River while sampling foods, as well as wine and beer-tasting, from more than 30 restaurants and wineries. Last year, more than 500 people attended and almost $25,000 was raised for the hospital.

The auxiliary supports hospital projects such as education, equipment and helping patients who can’t afford their prescriptions. This year the goal for GOGBOB is to raise funds to purchase a portable anesthesia monitoring system.
