LDV PARTICIPATE

Plan to be part of La Dolce Vita On Broadway as a guest, donor, underwriter, advertiser, committee member or all five. If you haven't been to an LDV, it is an over-the-top costume party with dinner, live and silent auctions, entertainment and splashy décor.

Attend the party and bid on auction items
You are guaranteed a memorable evening. Tickets are $225 per person until February 16, 2007 ($300 after). Many parents like to bring wine country friends who are not affiliated with SCDS, but who enjoy attending a great party and participating in charity auctions. Click here to purchase tickets online or contact Sonoma Country Day School Development Office at 284-3263 or LDV@scds.org.

Make an auction donation
LDV features a notable auction with many interesting and desirable items. In addition to an exciting live auction with 30 exceptional lots, this year will feature two Big Boards, one focused on distinctive wines and the other on dining, travel, and entertainment. Unique experiences for adults and children make valuable auction lots. The donation deadline is February 2, 2007. Contact: Associate Director of Development Debi Gianni at 284-3209 or LDV@scds.org.

Make a wine donation to the auction
Rare wines, vertical collections and large bottles generate the most exciting auction bidding. Special lots this year will include an SCDS Family wine lot and a 1997 vintage retrospective lot. Exclusive tours, admission to special winery events, and custom packages also generate lively bidding. In the past, donations to this event have been of the highest caliber and have made La Dolce Vita an astonishing success year after year. USA Today has called La Dolce Vita “one of the most prestigious fundraising events in the country.” Contact Wine Chair Katie Wetzel Murphy at 322-4499 or katie@kdvineyards.com
