“In 2012, Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation provided services to 674 individuals in the Tri-Counties Region. North Santa Barbara County represented a significant percentage, 27% of those we served. Fundraising events like the Sangria Soiree are so important for our organization because they provide an excellent opportunity to bring the Santa Ynez Valley community together in support of an imperative cause – supporting a child diagnosed with pediatric cancer” said Lindsey Guerrero, Executive Director.

Tickets are $80 per ticket and $150 for a couples ticket. VIP tickets and exciting sponsorships packages are also available. All proceeds from Sangria Soiree, to be held at The Villa at Sunstone Winery at 125 Refugio Rd., Santa Ynez, CA 93460 benefit Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation.
