90 guests, 14 wines, and 5 restaurants equals a great time by all.

On August 15, 2008 at The Golf Club @ Cinco Ranch, the charity hosted a ‘Wine & Foods From Around the World’  fund-raising event, attended by nearly 90 individuals and raising over $3,000 to further the mission of the charity. Vino 100 generously provided 15 wines to complement the food dishes, while Carino’s Italian Grill, Landry’s Seafood House, Panera Bread and Qdoba Mexican Grill served samplings of some of their finest h’ourderves and entrees to the guests.

“Our vision is to provide temporary housing in our community with a warm, safe environment for individuals and their families when hospitalized or receiving treatment for a serious medical condition.” said Board Member Ginger Hopper. “And, thanks to the kind and generous donations of local businesses and individuals, we’ve been able to assist those in need!”

In just over two years, the charity has raised over $70,000 through various fund-raising events and donations from individuals and corporations. And what does the future look like? “Our ultimate goal is to build our own structure and be able to accommodate multiple families at any one given time.” said Board Member David Rozier.

Our 2009 event is scheduled for August 14, 2009 and is in the planning stages now, please check back soon for information on our next great Wine Tasting!
