The Napa Valley Grapegrowers (NVG) and Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation (FWF) hosted their annual Harvest STOMP fundraiser Saturday night, August 28, at Round Pond Estate’s historic Pole Barn.
The event was record-breaking, with a dedicated community of grape growers,
vineyard managers, winery owners, wine lovers, and vineyard professionals, raising a
record-breaking $2.7 million net for the two organizations.
Another highlight of the evening was the annual fund-a-need, which raises critical donations for the NVG and Farmworker Foundation. The funds raised go directly to supporting the preservation of Napa Valley agriculture, education and professional development for Napa Valley farmworkers, and helping the Napa Valley community through trying times.
Founded by the Napa Valley Grapegrowers in 2011, the mission of the Napa Valley
Farmworker Foundation is to support and promote Napa Valley’s vineyard workers through education and professional development.
The Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation is the only one of its kind in the United States, providing educational opportunities, advanced training programs, leadership and management classes, English literacy programs, and much more. To date, the Farmworker Foundation has offered education and professional development opportunities to more than 21,000 vineyard workers and their families.
