Donation Requests

Brys Estate is proud to support many exceptional charitable causes. Each year we receive hundreds of deserving donation requests. While we make every effort to support as many requests as possible, we are simply unable to accommodate all of them.

Please note that the Michigan Liquor Control Commission states that it is illegal in the State of Michigan to donate bottles of wine, free tastings or free glasses of wine.

Current donation package:

• Brys Estate VIP Pass –  Includes two souvenir logo glasses, two coupons for $1 wine flights, one complimentary cheese & charcuterie board, and two coupons for $1 glasses of wine. A $79 value! Minimum bid - $25.

At this time, we do not support:

• School trips, school fundraisers or children’s programs. As our product contains alcohol, we choose not to be listed in auctions benefiting children or schools.

• Direct donation requests for individuals with catastrophic health and financial needs.
• Fraternal, political or labor organizations
• Fundraisers for the Arts and Sciences
   

Please note that we receive hundreds of donation requests throughout the course of a year and we cannot respond to every request we receive. If a donation is approved, you will be contacted. Follow up calls and emails are not necessary. Please allow 2 weeks for processing your request.

Please email your donation request to donations@brysestate.com.
