Passport to Wine was launched in 2008 by Miller & Hurt Financial Group to benefit the programs of Aging Matters in Brevard, proceeds from the event support the Meals on Wheels Program, Seniors at Lunch, In-home personal care, the Sunflower House, Caregiver Support and Respite Care, Transportation for seniors and veterans, and volunteer recruitment; all services that help seniors remain living in their own homes and avoiding long-term care placement. In total, the agency assists in the care of over 5300 local seniors. KU culinary students worked with Brevard Community Kitchen staff to create a sumptuous buffet for over 450 guests at the sold out event.

My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.
