William B. Fretz, Jr. Headed To Wine Country In California On Behalf Of The
Bacchanal Committee Of The Pennsylvania Academy Of Fine Arts
William B. Fretz, Jr. along with Dr. Stephen Somkuti, are headed to wine country in
California on behalf of the Bacchanal Committee of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Arts the first week in May 2014. They are visiting in order to increase awareness for
PAFA and the Annual Bacchanal Wine Gala and Auction.
Many California wineries donate and support this Gala in order to raise funds for student
educational pursuits. Bacchanal is PAFA’s flagship wine affair, raising over $500,000
annually to support PAFA student scholarships and education programs.
Since Bacchanal’s inception in 1999, the event has raised over $4.5 million. This vibrant
support has been invested in the Philadelphia community and has helped promote arts
education. Consistently recognized as the premier wine and auction event in the
region, Bacchanal was cited in 2010 by Haute Living Maga
