2021 Sponsors SILVER SPONSORS
Baltimore Ravens Aimee and Mark Fulchino Bill and Christine Heaphy Shari and John Tompkins BRONZE SPONSORS &Wealth Partners Kara and Brad Bennett Wendy Bond Cynthia and Jack Cavanagh Michel Modell, in loving memory of Art and Pat Modell Funds raised by this event will support the purchase of much-needed shade structures for the playgrounds of Kennedy Krieger’s Fairmount school campus, which provides special education for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. The school has two specially-designed playgrounds that provide sensory input and socialization. But during the summer and early fall, it can be too hot for students to use the playgrounds, as many students have secondary health conditions that make exercising in hot weather difficult. The shade structures will allow students to use the playgrounds for more weeks of the year. Thank you for your generous support!

Wines
Argyle Winery, Vintage Brut Grower Series Willamette Valley, 2016 The 2016 sparkling wine vintage in the Willamette Valley is generous yet refined, highlighting the alluring precision the region has to offer. Knudsen Vineyard, in the protected Dundee Hills, brings supple depth and elegance, while Spirit Hill Vineyard, in the windy confines of the Eola-Amity Hills, brings tension and mineral backbone. Fresh seashore, white peach and toasted brioche are framed around a creamy center and long, graceful finish. Open and serve well chilled. Argyle Winery, Artisan Series Rosé Willamette Valley, 2020 100% pinot noir grown from our two high-elevation vineyard sites in the Dundee and Eola-Amity Hills brings vibrant, fresh red fruits, spring flowers and subtle spice. Made from grapes picked over a month’s period of time, this wine is layered with flavor and textural nuance provided by the long, cool harvest of 2020 in the Willamette Valley. Serve slightly or well chilled, according to your preference. Argyle Winery, Grower Series Pinot Noir Willamette Valley, 2019 This Argyle pinot noir highlights the elegance and complexity of the Willamette Valley, showcasing the purity of fruit and nimble texture the region has to offer. Fermented entirely in small, 1.5-ton lots and plunged by hand, the 2019 vintage leans toward red cherry, pomegranate and spiced tea. Fresh, vibrant acidity is framed with polished tannin along with classic Argyle silky texture and persistent length. Serve slightly chilled.
