Co-chairs

“We have both served on the Foundation Board for Children’s Hospital.  Linda is an emeritus trustee for the Seattle Children’s Guild Board and I have served for many years on the AWW board, and Children’s Hospital has been an AWW partner and beneficiary for 35 years.  Children’s exists to serve every child in the state of Washington regardless of their ability to pay, including children in the wine growing and wine production regions of the state.  We can’t think of a better way of bringing together our love of Seattle Children’s Hospital with our love of Washington Wines than serving as co-chairs for AWW.”

“We have been supporters of the Washington wine industry since we moved to Seattle in 1996.  We are fortunate to be friends with many of our amazing winemakers and growers from Washington state.  We have been involved both personally and through our work with the Auction of Washington Wines for many years.  The support the event is able to provide to Children’s Hospital, the viticultural program at Washington State University and other eastern Washington charities benefiting the wine industry workforce, is so vital. We are truly honored to be the Community Chairs for the 2023-2024 Auction of Washington Wines.”
