That’s a wrap on another year of Rescue for the Roses 🌹 We are so incredibly grateful for every ounce of support that made this event possible—from our sponsors and auction donors, to the amazing team at Medaloni Cellars, to our own dedicated staff and volunteers, and the community of radically compassionate supporters (that’s you) who carry this mission forward every single day. Events like this aren’t just fundraisers, they’re a reflection of what’s possible when people come together with purpose. “Community is much more than belonging to something. It’s about doing something together that makes belonging matter.” — Brian Solis Thank you for being part of this with us.
