Sip for Second Harvest – hosted by the Second Harvest Auxiliary

Sunday, June 23, 2024

Each June, prepare for an unforgettable experience at the most highly anticipated event of the summer! Presented by the dedicated Second Harvest Auxiliary, this gathering is not just an occasion – it’s a celebration of community, compassion, and charity. With the generous backing of local wineries and sponsors, we come together at the picturesque Seascape Golf Club in Aptos to indulge in an afternoon of pure delight. Savor the finest local wines, sway to the rhythm of live music, and tantalize your taste buds with delectable appetizers. It’s an affair not to be missed, where every sip and every note contributes to a noble cause and helps provide resources for our food-insecure neighbors.

Sponsorship for Sip gains access to an anticipated attendance of 250-300 local, motivated food bank supporters with aligned values and tastes.
