Corporate and patron sponsors will enjoy a reception of restaurant and wine tastings, followed by a sit-down winemaker's supper. During the supper, Auctioneer Dave Reynolds will conduct a live auction and a Raise the Paddle, all to benefit a cause that affects more than 71 million Americans.

Our goal is to support the American Heart Association's ongoing mission of fighting cardiovascular disease and stroke. Proceeds support heart and stroke research, public education and community programs, such as establishing 911 access through cell phones, CPR trainings in local schools and businesses, placement of AEDs in the San Francisco airport and many city buildings, fitness and health education for school children and the elderly, and much more.

Your support of the 23rd Annual Celebrate with Heart gala will help fight America's top killers—heart disease and stroke. This year's lifesaving efforts will be led by Gala Chair Karen Francis, Chairman & CEO of Publicis & Hal Riney. Helping her in the fight is Honorary Chair, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.

Wine Cochairs Ellen Hunt, Executive Director of Rudd Group, and Jean Arnold Sessions of Hanzell Vineyards, have enlisted the support of over 40 exclusive wineries from Napa and Sonoma. To support the cause, each table will be hosted by one of these wineries, pouring a different wine with each course.

Last year's Celebrate with Heart netted over $1.2 million to fund cutting-edge research and prevention programs in San Francisco. This year’s goal is $1.5 million.
