On Friday, February 12, 2010, the group took a significant, positive step in that direction by hosting its first annual Global Law Brigades wine tasting event on the Seattle University campus.  Titled, “Think Globally, Drink Locally,” the event was sponsored by five well-acclaimed, Seattle-area wineries,  four of whom hosted tasting stations and one other who donated a case of wine.  Additionally, a local jazz band, Hochiwichi, generously volunteered three hours of its time by playing at the event.  Two of the band’s members are also law students at Seattle University.  At the end of the night, the event was an incredible success, with over one hundred students, faculty, and friends attending in support of the group.  While exact figures are unclear, the group estimates that it raised around $2,000 toward its trip. ### Written By: Guest Writer ## You May Also Like ### [![Think Globally, Drink Locally: Seattle University GLB Wine Tasting Event](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_9574-300x177-Nov-01-2021-09-43-24-75-PM.jpg) *Oct 20, 2011, 1:10:43 PM | From the Field* Architecture Brigades: Design Competition & Expansion to Health Sector](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/architecture-brigades-design-competition-expansion-to-health-sector) ### [![Think Globally, Drink Locally: Seattle University GLB Wine Tasting Event](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/2-300x225-Nov-01-2021-09-44-09-27-PM.jpg) *Oct 26, 2010, 11:04:57 AM |* GAB Design Competition – See the winning designs!](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/gab-design-competition-see-the-winning-designs) ### [![Think Globally, Drink Locally: Seattle University GLB Wine Tasting Event](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/imgp2759-300x199-Nov-01-2021-10-00-58-06-PM.jpg) *Oct 13, 2011, 3:13:17 PM | From the Field* Design Competition for School Children in Honduras](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/design-competition-for-school-children-in-honduras) [Learn More](https://www.example.com) [![Global-Brigades-2010-Logo_Med-Res-2](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Global-Brigades-2010-Logo_Med-Res-2.jpg?width=250&height=108&name=Global-Brigades-2010-Logo_Med-Res-2.jpg "Global-Brigades-2010-Logo_Med-Res-2")](https://www.globalbrigades.org/) 1099 E Champlain Dr., Ste A176 , Fresno, California [tel:](tel:) © Global Brigades.
