The Joe Beretta Foundation is hosting their fifth annual Dinner in the Vines fundraising event on Saturday, June 4 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 $125 each until May 14 and $160 per ticket after that date. VIP tickets cost $250 each. Garden party attire is suggested for the evening.
The Joe Beretta Foundation was established to meet the essential, non-medical needs of advanced heart failure patients, caregivers and their families by providing them with emergency housing and financial stability during times of crisis, as well as emotional support. Only 4% 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 five hospitals 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 and Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, with aspirations of expanding their existing footprint. Since the foundation’s inception in 2016, they’ve assisted 900+ individuals and provided over 2,300 nights of stay for patients and their families. Their ultimate goal is to build a hospitality home in Mt. Juliet.
“We’re thrilled to be celebrating our five year anniversary of Dinner in the Vines this summer,” says Lillian Beretta, President of the Board. “It’s truly been a wonderful event that really brings our community together, all while supporting such a special cause. My husband, Joe, and I lived a remarkable love story, and with wedding season right around the corner, a season of celebrating love and commitment is the perfect time to commemorate our organization’s success.”
