Each year, wine enthusiasts and collectors come together to raise glasses and funds for the T.J. Martell Foundation, the music industry’s largest foundation that funds innovative medical research focused on finding cures for leukemia, cancer and AIDS. The event featured a silent and live auction with all-inclusive trips to wine country and very rare experiences in music and sports entertainment. The Foundation sources and supports early-stage research projects aimed at developing more effective clinical treatments for patients which otherwise might not be funded.
