The numbers are in and the news is fantastic, reports Chris Sweeney, chairman of the Wine & Food Jubilee committee, and Brett Johnson, president of NorthBay Healthcare Foundation.
More than $370,000 was raised during the 24th Annual Solano Wine & Food Jubilee, a sum far surpassing any other time in the event's history.
The date for the 25th Solano Wine & food Jubilee has been set for April 27, 2012 at the Nut Tree Complex, they added.
Sweeney and Johnson attribute the jump in monies raised to an increase in sponsorships. "We have such a wonderful circle of people who continue to make this event something very special and that everyone can be proud to support," Sweeney said. "We extend our appreciation to our Presenting Sponsors - Sacca Family/Burger King Restaurants, Freeman Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, Al and Patt Shaw, Gold's Gym and the Nut Tree, as well as all the other sponsors and vendors who continue to participate."
It's a testament to the kind of community we live in, that such support would be shown during a difficult economy, Sweeney added.
The 24th event also experienced record attendance, with more than 2,500 people enjoying the festive evening on April 8.
The Committee has set the date for next year's Jubilee. The 25th Annual Solano Wine & Food Jubilee will be held on April 27, 2012, at the Nut Tree Complex. Be sure to save the date, as this Silver Anniversary edition is sure to be something extra special!
