The Joe Beretta Foundation is hosting their fourth annual Dinner in the Vines fundraising event on Saturday, June 12 at Beretta Vineyard in Mt. Juliet.
The evening will boast a delicious, multi-course Italian meal with an open wine bar, a silent auction and a VIP option, which includes a private wine cellar tasting. All wine selections are hand-picked by a local sommelier.
Standard tickets cost $150 and VIP tickets are priced at $250 each. Garden party attire is suggested for the evening.
The Joe Beretta Foundation was established to meet the practical needs of advanced heart failure patients and their families by providing them with emergency housing and financial stability during times of crisis, as well as emotional support. Only 3 percent of hospitals nationwide are able to treat this disease, so the vast majority of patients must travel long distance to receive life-saving care, resulting in fear, isolation and financial distress.
The foundation currently serves patients in four hospital across two cities, including Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Tristar Centennial Medical Center and Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital locally. They also serve patients at UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh, with aspirations of expanding their existing footprint. Since the foundation’s inception in 2016, they’ve assisted more than 650 individuals and provided over 1,800 nights of stay for patients and their families. Their ultimate goal is to build a hospitality home in Mt. Juliet.
“We’re delighted to be able to hold Dinner in the Vines again this summer, after a year filled with such uncertainty,” says Davey Shepherd, Executive Director. “It’s truly a remarkable event that really brings our community together, all while supporting such an extraordinary cause.”
