Wine for a Cure, a Benefit for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
Pleasanton, CA, August 29, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is proud to announce the Third Annual Wine for a Cure to take place on Saturday, September 25th, 2010 at John Madden’s Goal Line Productions in Pleasanton. Dr. Karen Hardy will be recognized as the Wine for a Cure, Caregiver of the Year.
Wine for a Cure is pleased to announce that Billy Beane will be in attendance during the VIP reception. Billy Beane is the General Manager of the Oakland A's. He is featured in Moneyball, by best selling author Michael Lewis and is portrayed by Brad Pitt in the upcoming Hollywood feature.
Entertainment will be provided by three remarkable performers: Lindsay Wadleigh, Chris LeBel and Tess Dunn.
At age 26, Lindsay has accomplished more goals and overcome more challenges than many people encounter in a lifetime. Lindsay is an artist, a blogger, a singer, a dancer, a musician, a free spirit, a dreamer and she has cystic fibrosis.
17 year old singer/songwriter Chris LeBel performs in the California Bay Area. Specializing in top 40 hits and old favorites, Chris is quickly making a name for himself. Chris has become a great supporter of CF.
Tess Dunn is a 15-year old singer-songwriter phenom who hails from Santa Cruz, California. Tess’ raspy vocals, mature keyboard compositions and alternative sound transcend her years. She started playing the piano at age 5, began writing songs at age 11 and first took to the stage at age 12. Tess faces issues of mortality, due to cystic fibrosis, that infuse her music and lyrics with radiant richness and haunting depth.
The night will showcase wines from the Livermore Valley and will be paired with culinary dishes from a special menu created by Skip Hinsley of Girasole Grill and a Pampered Palate. Wine for a Cure is pleased to have Picazo Vineyards as the premier winery, pouring during our VIP reception. Steven Kent and La Rochelle wineries will be featured during the main event, along with other spectacular Livermore Valley wineries.
The Wine for a Cure event will raise money to provide funds for the research necessary to find a cure for cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that affects over 30,000 children and young adults in the United States. There are dozens of families here in the East Bay dealing with this disease and the Cystic Fibosis Foundation is looking to the community to help find a cure.
