9th Annual Walk Through the Vineyards

Draws 830 and raises $130,000!

Thank you to all who attended, fundraised, sponsored, donated to and volunteered for our 9th Annual event on June 11, 2011! We had 830 participants and volunteers on-site and have raised $130,000 so far. You can still donate to the event or a participant until September online at the registration/donation site.

Participants, remember to ask your employer about matching gifts. Many employers will match your personal donation to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. Check with your company for more information about their matching gift program and ask your donors to do the same. We are a 501 c (3), nonprofit, Federal ID #33-0841281. This is an easy way to double donations!

About the Event

The Bay Area Affiliate of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network hosts an annual Walk Through the Vineyards fundraising walk and silent auction every June. In 2010, the event moved to a new and much larger location at Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena.  Event activities include a 2 mile walk around a Zinfandel vineyard, breakfast, live music by C4Inc, the always fun wine bottle ring toss game, Kids Zone, wine tasting and an exciting silent auction.  All proceeds benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network to fund research grants and patient programs.
