A little background on the event.
Wine Fest began in 1988 as a small gathering of young professionals who shared wine and appetizers donated by local restaurants. Over time, this small social gathering grew into a popular fundraiser made possible by some of Kansas City’s finest restaurants and wine vendors.
Funds raised by Wine Fest support research grants focused on issues related to premature birth and community programs such as NICU Family Support at Saint Luke’s Hospital and the Kansas Cribs for Kids Project.
The March of Dimes is a leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health and you can find out information about them at marchofdimes.com.
If you saw any of my Tweets from a few weeks ago, you also heard that Maya & I participated in the March for Babies walk, one of the major fund raising events for March of Dimes.
Not able to attend or not your type of thing? Please at least check out the site and help raise awareness for the March of Dimes. They’re doing some great things, and down economy or not, they still need our support.
Raise a glass to raise awareness and be a champion for all babies!
