2 The Rotary Club of Lakewood Ranch Invites You To Participate In The 2015 Suncoast Food & Wine Fest November 11th & 14th The fundraiser this year will include Uncorked an elegant evening and wine pairing dinner at Michael s on East on November 11th. The traditional Food & Wine Tasting, at the Sarasota Polo Club on Saturday, November 14th, will again offer an afternoon of samplings from a large selection of the area s finest restaurants and a variety of beverages. Your involvement as a sponsor supports both events and in turn is recognized by our community for the support you are providing to the many needy organizations it will benefit. We plan to have nearly 2000 attendees at this annual highly anticipated event and hope that you will choose to join with us in our service and support of those in need in our community. The Suncoast Food & Wine Fest is our club s annual major fundraiser, providing more than $1,210,000 to local charities during our 13 year history. This event has become a Sarasota/Manatee community tradition, allowing us and our sponsors, restaurants, and wine distributors to assist many charitable organizations and to contribute to Rotary International s humanitarian initiatives. A list of some of the charities we have been fortunate to assist during the past 13 years is on the back cover of this sponsorship presentation. On average our fundraiser has raised more than $100,000 each year and we receive over fifty grant applications with requests for financial assistance. We typically are able to provide funding to more than twenty different charitable organizations, each year from the proceeds. The community need is great and our resources are limited; therefore, we are deliberate and conscientious in selecting those who receive funding. The community has come to recognize our commitment to help, and we are determined to continue to do so. The Rotary Club of Lakewood Ranch is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, and our members are already hard at work on this year s event with the goal of making this our most successful year ever. A member of our Sponsorship Committee will be in contact with you soon. In the interim, if you have any questions and/or suggestions regarding the 2015 event, we will be happy to chat with you.
