2008 Beneficiaries
Hospices of Sonoma and the WCC Charitable Foundation proudly support these outstanding community organizations as beneficiaries of our 2008 event (as of October, 2007). Each will receive 25% of the auction proceeds.
Camp Okizu
The mission of the Novato-based Okizu Foundation is to provide recreational,
respite and peer support programs to meet the needs of all family members
affected by childhood cancer. Over the past 26 years, more than 20,000
children with cancer have attended Camp Okizu.
The Children's Village
The mission of the Children’s Village of Sonoma County is to provide
nurturing, stable family homes in a multi-generational, enriched environment
for children and their siblings in foster care. Funds raised at this year’s
Hospices of Sonoma Pinot Noir Barrel Auction will directly support the
construction of additional housing on the Children’s Village campus
in Santa Rosa.
WCC Charitable Foundation
For more than 20 years the WCC Charitable Foundation has helped children in life-threatening circumstances throughout the North Bay, and in times of war and national crisis, has also provided funding to injured American military personnel, police, firefighters and their families. The WCC Charitable Foundation administers the Hospices of Sonoma Pinot Noir Barrel Auction as its major fundraiser. Auction proceeds will support the WCCCF’s direct donation program for children at risk.
