Stanford Home Announces 5th Annual Sacramento Valley Wine Auction
The best wine samplings, gourmet fare and entertainment Northern California has to offer

SACRAMENTO – Wine enthusiasts from the greater Sacramento area will eat, drink, and be merry at the fifth annual Sacramento Valley Wine Auction to be held Friday, September 25, at Arden Hills Resort Club and Spa. All event proceeds will benefit Stanford Home for Children, a nonprofit organization that is a Sacramento leader in providing services to children and families in their homes and communities.

Local and Napa Valley wineries and restaurants will begin the evening by offering wine and gourmet food tastings. The evening will feature a cigar bar, live entertainment, and two separate auctions beginning with a silent auction featuring rare wines, travel and lifestyle lots, and a rousing live auction with a remarkable assemblage of wine, art and gift certificates good for vacation getaways and more.

"Delicious food, great wine and an impressive array of auction items are sure to attract our most discriminating guests. The stage is set for a fantastic benefit that will help a great cause. We are excited about the opportunity to raise funds for Stanford Home once again," says Keith Diederich, Stanford Home Executive Director. “Stanford Home is truly Sacramento’s best-kept secret and this event is helping illuminate its vital contributions to the Sacramento community. By creating alternative solutions to institutional care, this agency is leading the field with successful, long-term solutions for children and families."

Tickets are $75.00 per person, and can be reserved by contacting Heidi Mills at hmills@stanfordhome.org or 916-662-0008. Attendance will be limited to 350 individuals.

Stanford Home for Children is a Sacramento leader in providing services to children and families in their homes and communities: the best solution to supporting families in turmoil. Through family centered practices, we connect and strengthen families, so that every child can thrive. For more than 100 years, Stanford Home’s mission has been to provide innovative care and support to strengthen children and families so that they may define their own dreams, overcome their challenges, and thrive in the future. The nonprofit organization serves boys and girls of all races, creeds, and economic backgrounds—each with a different but painful set of experiences that have had a negative impact on their schooling, emotional well-being, and their ability to interact with adults and peers. Stanford Home seeks to unite and unify families whenever possible, minimizing the dependence on institutional care that can further traumatize a child facing turmoil. Stanford Home’s vision for the future is to ensure that every youth is safe, healthy, self-sufficient, connected with family, and given the tools they need to develop into contributing members of our community.
