TGF Annual Fundraiser
2026 Sip, Savor and Smile
Don't miss out on an exciting new experience! Our 2026 fundraiser is on Sunday, November 8 at a new venue and time. We are breaking with our 20+ year tradition of holding an evening Gala, and instead have planned a Sunday afternoon/early evening event (3:00pm to 7:00pm) at the lovely Domenico Italian Winery of San Carlos (1697 Industrial Rd, San Carlos, California)! Sip delightful wine and drinks, Savor delicious chef prepared bites and appetizers and Smile as you enjoy our silent and live auctions along with client success stories and testimonials!
Familiar faces will be there: Eric Snyder (emcee), Steve Bowerman (auctioneer), and of course Stacey Redman (TGF Founder and President). And we are thrilled to announce Tony Lyndsay and Friends will bring their musical vibe for dancing! Gather your friends and family and join the Sip, Savor, and Smile fun with your TGF friends!
If you'd like to volunteer to help with the event, please contact Stacey Redman.
If you'd like to donate an item for us to auction at this year's event, please let us know here.
About our Annual Fundraiser
Each November, we welcome over 300 people to our annual fundraiser - friends, supporters, clients, and partners who share a common goal: to provide support and services to those impacted by addiction, loss, and lack of educational opportunities. The annual fundraiser shines a spotlight on our clients who share their personal stories of receiving support and finding peace and healing they never thought possible.
It’s always a fun event that includes a silent auction, a live auction, food and drink, and an informative, inspiring program featuring client success stories, followed by music and dancing. Many use the auctions to kick-off holiday shopping while allowing their gift budgets to benefit the Foundation's work simultaneously.
Proceeds from the event fund all the aspects of our mission including the Meadowlark Retreats for Grieving Mothers and Fathers, College Scholarships and Internship programs, and Tim’s House. Invitations will be received through the mail, and you can register for the Fundraiser below. We hope to see you there!
