We are excited to report that our 3rd Annual Wine Event, An Evening in Tuscany, was a phenomenal success! Surpassing our goal of $100,000, this event has exceeded our expectations.

With over 450 guests in attendance, the grounds of the Chiala Estate were filled with guests enjoying a champagne and lemoncello greet, wines poured from 10 local wineries, live music, delicious food, an exciting game of Heads and Tails, and a live and silent auction.

It could not have been done without support from an outstanding committee and our generous sponsors. On behalf of the Foundation staff and board, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the event committee, the Chiala family, Barry Swenson Builder, and Allyson Lyles for playing major roles in making this vision a reality. Also a special thanks to Bill Christopher of Christopher Ranch for doing such a wonderful job as our Heads and Tails host and live auctioneer. Congratulations to Bill and Monica McClintock, the lucky winners of the fully stocked 50-bottle wine refrigerator!

We are already planning next year’s event, and are looking forward to welcoming all of our guests back once again.
