Please join us for the 6th Annual Night of Joy as we share a spectacular sunset and evening under the stars while we raise awareness and vital funds to bring joy to kids and families impacted by childhood cancer and encourage them to NEGU “Never Ever Give Up.”

This intimate evening will include a reception and four-course dining experience featuring a Booker Wines guided wine tasting.  Guests will enjoy a hand-selected lineup of highly acclaimed Booker Wines, premium bar offerings, and a variety of meaningful fundraising opportunities throughout the night. 

The Night of Joy is more than a food and wine tasting – it’s a powerful reminder of what’s possible when people come together to bring hope, joy, and encouragement to families facing childhood cancer.

Secure your seats today to be a part of this memorable evening.

“Night of Joy has become one of our favorite charity events of the year.  Sitting outside under the stars, sipping excellent wine, enjoying great food with clients all to help kids fighting cancer.  Night of Joy checks all the boxes for us.  We are honored to support the Jessie Rees Foundation.”  – John Stratman, Kaiser
