Managing Director, The V Foundation Wine Celebration

To date, The V Foundation has given over $170 million in cancer research grants nationwide. Its annual Wine Celebration, held here in the Napa Valley, has raised $80 million of that figure, so it’s no wonder that we’re aligned with this community and the Queen of the Valley Medical Center. In 2004 we started actively supporting the Queen’s Cancer Wellness Program to sustain health maintenance and survivorship. In 2013, we helped fund the Clinical Lab and Pathology Services Center to rapidly identify a diagnosis and allow for patients to immediately begin an individualized treatment plan.

Having an accredited facility close by is very important to us, and the Queen is continually acquiring the latest technology and advances in treatments. That’s a huge benefit for the physical and mental well-being of the patients in this community. They can preserve their quality of life before, during, and after a cancer diagnosis, and they can stay close to home as they progress toward achieving victory over cancer.
