Salud! raises $911,300 for vineyard worker healthcare

Hillsboro, Ore.—The ¡Salud! fundraiser through Tuality Healthcare for healthcare services for seasonal vineyard workers and their families raised $911,300 during the 25th anniversary of the event held Nov. 11-12.

Events included a ¡Salud! Cuvée Tasting and Big Board Auction, which drew a crowd of approximately 400 attendees to Ponzi Vineyards in Sherwood, Ore., and generated $173,300. The Dinner and Auction Gala, which this year returned to Portland’s Sentinel hotel, welcomed 340 guests and brought in $738,000 through live and silent auctions, ticket sales and sponsorships. The two highest grossing items were a week-long trip to France and VIP weekend experience at Domaine Serene donated by Ken and Grace Evenstad and Château de la Crée, and a week-long New Zealand excursion donated by Ste. Michelle Wine Estates and Villa Maria. 

Since its founding in 1991, ¡Salud! has raised more than $13 million. The program is able to deliver three dollars of service for every one dollar spent because of collaborative relationships with partnering healthcare organizations.
