Alice Paul Institute Fundraiser To Be Held In-Person Sept. 25

MT. LAUREL, NJ — The Alice Paul Institute will host its 14th annual Paulsdale Uncorked fundraiser on Sept. 25, 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at historic Paulsdale, located at 128 Hooton Road in Mount Laurel, NJ.

The annual fine wine and food pairing fundraiser will be held in-person after it was staged virtually last year. Guests are invited once again to come back to historic Paulsdale, the childhood home of suffragist Alice Paul, to enjoy an evening of specially curated wines and upscale cuisine.

General admission tickets are available starting at $75. The Alice Paul Institute will also offer access to a specialty lounge featuring imported wines and unique foods for VIP ticket holders. All guests will have the opportunity to further support the event through its silent auction or by entering the night’s wine pull.

“We’re thrilled to be able to host Uncorked in-person this year,” Alice Paul Institute Development Director Rachael Glashan Rupisan said. “While we had success through the virtual platform, being able to welcome guests back to the grounds at Paulsdale will certainly elevate not only our ability to raise much-needed funds to support our historic preservation and leadership development programs, but also our engagement with the community.”

The Alice Paul Institute will follow all up-to-date federal and state guidelines regarding COVID-19 for the evening. Guests are required to be vaccinated or wear masks at all times when unable to maintain social distancing.

Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1991, Paulsdale is New Jersey's only National Historic Landmark dedicated to a woman.

Originally built circa 1800, the house was the birthplace and childhood home of Alice Paul, who authored the Equal Rights Amendment, advocated for the passing of the 19th amendment, and fought tirelessly for gender equality in the United States and abroad.

The Alice Paul Institute purchased the property in 1990. Paulsdale now serves as a historic house museum and a home for the Institute.

Paul was born in Mount Laurel in 1885. She attended Moorestown Friends School, graduating at the top of her class. She met Lucy Burns and joined the Women's Suffrage Movement while studying social work in England, according to the National Women's History Museum. She died in Moorestown in 1977.

The Alice Paul Institute's goal is to further Paul's legacy and advocacy for women's rights, and takes a leadership role in bringing recognition to organizations and historic sites that honor women, according to the institute's website.
