• Leukemia Ball

  Mar 25, 2009

  Hello Everyone!
  
  I thought as my very first blog entry EVER, it would be appropriate to start off with a big Bang...or Pop (bubbly? get it?!). 
  
  On Saturday, March 21st I had the honor of sponsoring and attending DC's largest non-political event, the Leukemia Ball!  This is an amazing event and brings together over 2,500 people from the Capitol Region for a night of fun, Barefoot and raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  All three objectives were accomplished!!!!
  
  Fun - The entertainment for the evening was Comedian Frank Caliendo and Earth, Wind and Fire (needless to say there was a little dancing!)
  
  Barefoot - Was there Barefoot?! There was only Barefoot!  We were the sole wine and bubbly sponsors for the evening.  Our Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Brut Bubbly were featured.  In fact everyone of the over 250 tables at Barefoot bottles and every single server carried the Barefoot bottles around!
  
  Fundraising - This ball raised $3 million in ONE NIGHT!!! 
  
  Overall this was just an amazing event and amazing way for Barefoot to show its love for non-profits!  I had people coming up to me all night thanking Barefoot for our support and even better...telling me how absolutely wonderful our wines are and how its their new favorite!!!
