2014 PRESEN TING SP ONSORLE A D SP ONSOR M AIN SP ONSOR

Summer 2013

We would like to invite you to join us as a sponsor of the 30th Anniversary Classic Wines Auction. Since its inception in 1982, the Classic Wines Auction has raised over $30 million. Last year’s Auction and related events hosted more than 2,300 people and raised over $2.9 million for children and families in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Proceeds from our 2014 events will benefit five charitable organizations helping over 82,000 children and families: Metropolitan Family Service, New Avenues for Youth, Friends of the Children – Portland, YWCA Clark County and Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel. Each of these non-profit organizations is doing exceptional work in the community through their programs and services.

A Classic Wines Auction sponsorship offers a unique opportunity to associate your company or brand with a high-profile food and wine experience. An affluent clientele of over 900 guests, including wine enthusiasts, business, civic, and social leaders attend the Classic Wines Auction. We also produce a food and wine tasting event called “Urban Classic,” seasonal Winemaker Dinners (1,120 attendees in 2013) and an exclusive Ambassadors Dinner for our top sponsors (200 attendees). Sponsorships are available for these unique events as well.

Enclosed is a list of sponsorship opportunities. The number of sponsor tables is limited. Your prompt confirmation enables us to collect print ads, logos, and other materials in a timely manner to provide maximum exposure for your company in our auction catalog, on our website and at the event. Deadline for catalog ads to be received for inclusion in the catalog is DECEMBER 15th. For questions or to coordinate benefits, please contact Heather Martin, Executive Director of the Classic Wines Auction, by phone at 503-972-0194 or by email at [email protected].

We look forward to celebrating our 30th Anniversary with you.

Sincerely,

Keith Barnes John Bradley DJ Wilson2014 Auction Co-Chair 2014 Auction Co-Chair 2014 Auction Co-ChairBarnes Capital Management R & H Construction KGW Media Group

Metropolitan Family ServiceThrough social innovation and a focus on prevention, Metropolitan Family Service (MFS) delivers proven programs to help people succeed at home, in school and in the community. Since 1950, the agency has been bridging generations to inspire people to live their best life. MFS works to help children learn and grow through after school programs and mentoring; strengthens families through parent education and family involvement in schools; and supports older adults to help them live independently providing vital services and ways to use their skills in the community. As a changemaker, MFS gets ahead of tough social issues by providing early preventive programs that avert costlier options to ensure that every dollar is maximized. MFS staff and nearly 2,000 skilled volunteers provide services to more than 30,000 children, families, and older adults each year.

New Avenues for YouthNew Avenues for Youth has served Portland’s homeless and at-risk youth since 1997, providing a continuum of programs and services designed to help them exit street life. Each year, New Avenues serves hundreds of youth by providing basic human needs, clinical counseling, transitional housing, education and career training. New Avenues offers every opportunity for youth to succeed and excel. This continuum of care meets youth where they are and encourages positive development. By offering a path of hope and possibilities, their programs have helped thousands of youth become self-sufficient adults.

Friends of the Children – PortlandFriends of the Children provides our community’s most vulnerable children with full-time, paid, professionally trained mentors (called Friends) to ensure that each child has a positive, consistent and supportive adult in his or her life. Friends of the Children begins working with children in Kindergarten and continues to support them for 12-1/2 years, through their high school graduation date. Friends of the Children helps the most vulnerable children in our community develop the resiliency and life skills necessary to become successful and break the cycle of poverty.

YWCA Clark CountyYWCA Clark County serves more than 11,800 people each year who are victims of domestic violence, homelessness, sexual assault, child abuse and neglect, and oppression, as well as youth in foster care and incarcerated women. The programs and services of YWCA are focused on providing critical resources and assistance to these community members in need, and on fostering a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. Each program cultivates this shared mission through strategic application of their services and support. Core values of empowerment, diversity, teamwork, commitment, service and respect provide guiding themes that support their mission within their programs and our community.

Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy EmanuelRandall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel offers specialized care in an environment designed especially for young patients. From routine care to the most complex cases, local pediatricians and families trust them to provide the region’s most advanced care. Many of the services provided by Randall Children’s Hospital rival those found in the nation’s top pediatric hospitals in terms of sophistication and excellence of medical outcomes. Nearly 100,000 patients visit Randall Children’s Hospital each year. Randall’s nine-story building was designed for the special health care needs of children and their families. It’s a place where kids still get to be kids, even while they are healing.
