UPDATE Oct. 14: The voter registration sign up and bake sale benefitting the nonprofit Vote.org at Sunset Social is being pushed to Saturday, Oct. 17, due to the weather forecast calling for heavy rain on Friday.

The time will still be 3 to 6 p.m. More details on what to expect at the event can be found below in the original story.

Original story: Branden McRill of Fine-Drawn Hospitality (Walnut Street Café, The Post, Sunset Social) is partnering with Jordan Salcito, founder of canned wine brand RAMONA, to host a voter registration sign up and bake sale benefitting the nonprofit Vote.org.

Both will take place on Friday, Oct. 16, from 3 to 6 p.m. at the rooftop venue Sunset Social in University City.

Complimentary cans of RAMONA's wine spritzes will be handed out while supplies last, and cocktails and individually wrapped desserts will be for sale with all proceeds going to Vote.org.

Tova du Plessis of Essen Bakery, Alexander Roman of High Street Philly, Jack Peterson of Fine-Drawn Hospitality and Khoran Horn of Stripp'd Juice and Eat BLVCK will be providing the treats.

"We are fortunate to have a space that enables us to safely host such important initiatives for our community, especially during this pivotal time in America’s history," McRill said. "Voting options should be accessible to everyone and we’re grateful to have a forum to spread awareness and share information."
