Partner Spotlight: ZD
What is the purpose of building a large company if not to invest in the world around you. That principal is what stands out in our continued partnership with ZD Wines. Napa Valley is a very special place but its also a place where stark problems exist with important work needed to address them. ZD and the Deleuz Family have focused their efforts behind creating a bridge for teens to step into great futures and have mobilized their business in many ways to elevate the work of the Boys & Girls Club to that end. They’re in good company, with many vintners supporting our efforts but they’re an inspiring example of how invested they are personally in the work of the Club in the form of funding from events like the Harvest Celebration and Crush Challenge. To gifts that help expand our teen services. To weekly drop offs of healthy snacks for teens to enjoy while they’re here. What’s most remarkable about this is that they don’t wait for times that are convenient. They show up, regardless of the weather, the economy, or in the midst of their own struggles. They’ve made this work a core part of their business model and that is truly exceptional.
