22nd Annual Sutter Home for Hope Campaign to Drive $60,000 Donation to National Breast Cancer Foundation
Sutter Home Family Vineyards, which has contributed more than $.62 million to breast cancer research, treatment and education, said it is partnering for the eighth consective year with the National Breast Cancer Foundation with limited-edition pink-ribbon White Zinfandel and Pink Moscato bottles in 187mL, 750mL and 1.5L formats.
The Sutter Home for Hope initiative began in 2001, when one of Sutter Home's founding family members, Vera Trinchero Torres, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Sutter Home fans can help continue the fight against breast cancer by sending in their Sutter Home corks and screwcaps via mail. For every cork and screwcap received, the winery will donate $1 to National Breast Cancer Foundation, up to $60,000. The program began Sept. 1 and will run through the end of 2022.
Sutter Home fans are once again encouraged to further our fight against breast cancer by visiting https://fundraise.nbcf.org/sutter. Through the site – back for its second year – fans can fund a HOPE Kit for a woman undergoing breast cancer treatment.
Each package is filled with thoughtful items that patients find soothing and encouraging, including fuzzy socks, tea, lip balm, an inspirational bracelet, lotion, a HOPE journal, educational resources and a hand-written note – many of which were written by guests visiting Sutter Home's Napa Valley tasting room. $50 funds one HOPE Kit, though the one-time fee or a monthly donation can be made for any amount.
"Our mission for making a difference remains twofold: providing support to charities and nonprofits like National Breast Cancer Foundation that are working to make a difference in communities nationwide, and promoting positive messages of hope and support to let those affected by cancer know they are not alone," said Jennifer Hohman, director of marketing for Sutter Home. "We are truly grateful to our fans who have joined us as we take on this cause together, as an extended family – one that's there to help celebrate the good times and give support during the challenging times."
