7th Annual “Pink Party” at Graton Ridge Cellars

Celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Sebastopol, CA – Graton Ridge Cellars is proud to announce the upcoming
seventh-annual Pink Party celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The party will be held from 11am to 4:00pm on Saturday October 17 at the Graton Ridge tasting room. The party features wine tasting and appetizers for $10 per person, which is donated directly to the Sutter North Bay Women’s Health Center. Pink boas will be given to everyone who purchases wine.

Sue Bonzell, family member and Graton Ridge Cellars Director of Marketing stated,

“Our family has been affected by breast cancer and we feel strongly about giving back to a cause that is so important to us.”

Graton Ridge Cellars has partnered with Sutter North Bay Women’s Health Center in Santa Rosa to donate a portion of their wine sales from this event. To date, Graton Ridge Cellars has donated more than $8000 to the Santa Rosa breast care facility.

According to the American Cancer Society, about 1.3 million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer annually worldwide and about 465,000 will die from the disease.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States. The highest concentration of breast cancer in the U.S. is found in the San Francisco Bay Area. This year, nearly 400 Sonoma County women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and about 85 women will lose their lives to it.

Whether people can attend are not, they are encouraged to send in the name and/or photos of loved ones affected by breast cancer for the ‘Pretty in Pink’ Line of Honor.
