VICTORY OVER CANCER!®Mike "Coach K" Krzyzewski returns as host for the 13th time during the 22nd Annual V Foundation Wine Celebration on August 6-9, 2020. The 2020 V Wine Celebration has so much in store: award-winning journalist and television Hall of Famer Katie Couric will lead the charge to raise money during this year’s Fund-A-Need for colorectal cancer research, while legend-ary chef Michael Mina will provide the culinary genius. Our opening night event at Alpha Omega Winery will feature an exciting private concert by multi-platinum recording artist Andy Grammer!
Since 1999, the V Foundation Wine Celebration, benefitting the V Foundation for Cancer Research, has raised over $115 million for cancer research and related programs. This three-day signature series of events in the stunning Napa Valley demonstrates that commitment, passion and giving become the catalyst for positive change. Experience the best culinary adventures, the most sought-after wines, exciting performances, thought-provoking panels and the chance to meet amazing people from all over the country who are joining the same fight along with you. The V Foundation has proudly awarded more than $250 million for cutting- edge research, holds the highest possible 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest evaluator of charities, and is among the top 3% of all charities evaluated. The V Foundation is also a GuideStar platinum-rated charity.
Katie is an award-winning
journalist and New York Times best-selling author.
Couric was the first woman to solo
anchor a network evening newscast, CBS Evening News, and was co-anchor
of NBC’s Today Show. She has won a duPont-Columbia, a Peabody, two Edward
R. Murrows, a Walter Cronkite Award, and multiple Emmys.
In addition to writing The Best Advice I Ever Got: Lessons from Extraordinary
Lives, Couric’s memoir will be published in Spring 2021.
Since his 2011 self-titled debut, Grammer has consistently delivered
stratosphere-sized smashes buoyed by impressive range, deft musicality, and endless charisma. By 2019, he scored six chart-topping hits—
each certified gold or better by the RIAA. The artist’s breakout “Fine By Me” and its follow-up “Keep Your Head Up” are
both certified platinum. His 2014 sophomore offering, Magazines or Novels, went gold and yielded
the gold “Good To Be Alive (Hallelujah).” During this chapter, the single
“Honey, I’m Good” reached quadruple-platinum status
globally.

Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the U.S. It will be diagnosed in more than 145,000 people this year and will kill more than 51,000. In 2016, more than 1.3 million people were living with colorectal
cancer. The median age at diagnosis is 67 years of age.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
During the 2019 ESPYS, ESPN reached an incredible milestone in its effort to bring awareness to and funds for cancer research—the network announced it had helped raise over $100 million for the V Foundation since it was founded in 1993. Dollars came from generous employees, whose passion about the V is evidenced from the creative campaigns that make audiences laugh, think and cry each year. Dollars came through collaborations with other organizations who are equally passionate about cancer research, including Bristol-Myers Squibb, WWE, Corona and many others. And dollars came directly from sports fans, whose own stories of courage and determination inspire us to keep going until we achieve Victory Over Cancer®.
ESPN AND SPORTS FANS HELP TO RAISE $100 MILLION FOR CANCER RESEARCH
"ESPN has been a part of the V Foundation from the beginning. Their support has helped make advances in cancer research possible with their global recognition, they have brought so
much attention to stopping cancer. I'm proud to team with them to make Jim's dream of finding cures a reality."
