The 4th Annual Weekend Jetaway, presented by AXA Advisors Southwest, Aero Jet and Jet Set Magazine, announced that Crescent Crown Distributing has signed on as a sponsor of the big event, which will take place on Friday, October 23 from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Through the partnership, guests at the culinary casino event will enjoy Coors Light, Miller Lite, Blue Moon, Leinenkugels and even Redd’s Apple Ale, courtesy of the community involved beverage company.

“The event will also feature music, culinary creations from leading Valley chefs, custom cocktails, surprise entertainers, Clique Photo Station and casino games set in a private jet hangar within the Scottsdale Airport,” said Dillan Micus, event co-founder. “During Weekend Jetaway, guests will take part in a casino-style dice game, with several lucky winners taking home a multitude of lux prizes, including the grand prize – a luxurious all-inclusive, first-class vacation on a private jet for four.”

Among the popular restaurants sampling their fall and winter menus during Weekend Jetaway are: Arcadia Tavern, Postino WineCafe, The Capital Grille North Scottsdale, Rhythm & Wine, Jalapeno Inferno, Twin Peaks, SOL Cocina, The DoubleTree Resort Paradise Valley, Tom’s Thumb Marketplace, Sprinkles and The Melting Pot. This year, Weekend Jetaway also will also features several new elements including a decadent dessert bar, blind wine pull, and Elevated Sponsor Lounge, which will be hosted by the Four Seasons Scottsdale Resort Troon North and allow both early access to the event as well as the chance to play a second, private dice game for additional prizes.

All proceeds from the event – which will also include expansive live and silent auctions – will benefit Elevate Phoenix, a non-profit organization working to provide in-school teaching; after-school mentoring/tutoring; career instruction/ post-secondary preparation and life skills training to local kids in need. Tickets start at $125 and are inclusive of all food and drink as well as entry into the dice game. They are available now at www.weekendjetaway.org.
