Saturday, June 22nd was our International Food & Wine Tasting to support Culmore Clinic. This annual tradition was a huge success thanks to all of you who sponsored, volunteered, and joined us!
Cisco Systems sent a fabulous volunteer force to staff the event and they worked incredibly hard to help guests enjoy the night. Culmore Clinic has been approved for Cisco's Matching Gifts Program, meaning that both financial and volunteer contributions will be matched by the corporation. See more below.
We’d also like to thank Vienna Vintner, which presented eight wines and worked with the Events Subcommittee to match varietals with international foods. In addition to knowledgeable staff to discuss the wines, Vienna Vintner provided a give back where a portion of sales were donated to The Clinic.
Thanks to generous contributions, we raised $35,000! If you missed the event and planned to donate, now is your chance! Every dollar counts! Will you please help us get to our goal of $45,000?
A HUGE thank you to Cisco Systems!
