Pathways is proud to invite the community to the 23rd annual A Vintage Affair, a signature fundraising event that blends an evening of fine tastes with heartfelt purpose. The celebration will be held from 5-8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025, at the Grays Peak Building at Front Range Community College in Fort Collins. Presented by Wilbur’s Total Beverage Wine & Spirits, A Vintage Affair brings together friends, neighbors and community leaders to support Pathways’ mission of providing expert hospice, palliative care and grief support to individuals and families across Larimer and Weld counties.
Over the past 22 years, A Vintage Affair has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Pathways. This year’s proceeds from the event will be dedicated to the Pathways Family Assistance Fund, which provides essential support by offering grants for non-medical expenses such as food, travel and mortgage or rent payments, allowing families to focus on what truly matters at this time in their life.
In addition, funds will benefit The Dream Quilter’s Project, which is a dedicated group of volunteers that donates 35-40 quilts on a monthly basis to the Inpatient Care Center. The blankets not only offer warmth and comfort to patients in their final days, but they also serve as a cherished memento for their loved ones.
“A Vintage Affair is a celebration of compassion and community,” says Evan Hyatt, president of Pathways. “The support we receive through this event helps to ensure that our patients and their families facing serious illness or grief have access to the expert care and support they deserve. We are deeply grateful to Wilbur’s Total Beverage and other sponsors for making this mission happen. And this year, we are thrilled to have many of the quilts created by The Dream Quilter’s Project on display, so those attending A Vintage Affair can see for themselves.”
Event guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring whiskey, wine and beer tastings from top local and regional vendors, along with delicious hors d’oeuvres and decadent desserts. Live entertainment will set the tone for a lively night, while the always-popular silent auction offers the chance to bid on unique experiences, beautifully curated gift baskets and one-of-a-kind items.
“All of us at Wilbur’s are deeply honored to continue supporting A Vintage Affair,” says Mat Dinsmore, owner of Wilbur’s Total Beverage. “This event has a special place in our hearts, not only for the incredible work it supports, but for the way it brings the community together to celebrate, connect and give back.”
Tickets are $75 per person and can be purchased online at pathways-care.org/ava-tickets or in person at Wilbur’s Total Beverage, located at 2201 S. College Ave. in Fort Collins. Space is limited, and early purchase is recommended.
This year’s event is made possible through the generosity of local sponsors, including the title sponsor, Wilbur’s Total Beverage, and many valued community partners.
