Thanks to presenting sponsor Vida Valiente Winery, supporters basked in the glow of the setting sun while sipping a selection of fine wines from Napa and Sonoma's premier boutique wineries including Vida Valiente and Memento Mori. Guests were also treated to tastings of small-batched, sustainably processed tequila and artisanal mezcal. The event included enticing silent and live auction packages, and the mainstage program featured inspiring stories of healing and hope as told by the families of wish children dealing with critical illnesses.

Del Mar Women's Giving Collective is a community of Del Mar women that gives collectively to amplify their impact as donors. Founded in 2018, the tax-exempt 501(c)(3) has given more than $150,000 to San Diego nonprofits. The 2021 Giving Cycle resulted in $50,000 being granted to Refuge for Women, A Bridge for Kids, and Solutions for Change. The vision of DMWGC is to grow as a philanthropic community that has a meaningful financial impact on nonprofit organizations meeting the needs of underserved populations in San Diego County. Membership in DMWGC allows members to meet and interact with other generous, community-minded women in Del Mar. Members participate in an annual grant making process that has a bigger impact collectively than one might accomplish individually. dmwgc.org PHOTOGRAPHY BY BOB STEFANKO @ranchandcoast ranchandcoast.com 130 DECEMBER 2021 RANCH & COAST MAGAZINE
