Healdsburg Crush Raises $160k+
Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin hosted their annual wine tasting fundraiser, Healdsburg Crush, this past Sunday, October 17th on the historic Healdsburg Plaza. The event generated $160,800 to help support 42 Clubs that serve over 10,000 kids in Sonoma and Marin Counties.
Once only a Pinot Noir event, this wine selection was expanded to include Chardonnay and sparkling wines from an impressive 65+ participating California wineries pouring on the plaza.
The 700+ people in attendance voted Papapietro Perry Winery their favorite winery at the event during a People’s Choice contest. In addition to casting their votes, attendees were also able to take home a few bottles (in some instances, cases) of their favorite wines from the wine auction and raffle featuring instant wine cellars and magnums as prizes.
“Like helping youth reach their full potential, an event of this caliber takes many supporters," said Jennifer Weiss, Chief Executive Officer at Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin. “Along with our 20 sponsors and 65+ participating wineries, we are so grateful for everyone who traveled near and far to make Healdsburg Crush a success.”
“It was wonderful to see a community of generous people come together to support the kids and enjoy exceptional wines,” said Bob Cabral, Owner of Bob Cabral Wines. “I’ve always been moved at the wine industry’s generosity & support for important causes. Healdsburg Crush is a perfect way to showcase the beautiful town of Healdsburg, the incredible local wineries, and our community’s giving spirit.”
This event is one of the most significant fundraising events for Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin. At this event 100% of the proceeds will benefit their afterschool and summer programs, allowing them the opportunity to provide life changing programs to over 10,000 kids every year in Sonoma and Marin Counties.
