Johnell Davidson's Fundraiser
Help Bring Friendship & Support to Isolated Elders in the Bay Area
Johnell's 40th Birthday Wine Tasting Fundraiser!!
It's time to celebrate!! Each year I do a birthday fundraiser to support the work of Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly. Join me this year and celebrating my 40th birthday at my 3rd annual wine tasting fundraiser! My dear friend Evan with North Berkeley Imports will guide us through a
curated wine tasting experience with wines from small producers
throughout Italy. We will sip, we will learn and we will enjoy wines from the region. Suggested donation is $50 - $100 per person.
All
proceeds are donated directly to LBFE to support their incredible
mission to
alleviate isolation and loneliness amongst our older adults in San
Francisco. The money raised will support programs including coordinating
our visiting volunteers, rides to medical appointments, care kits with
daily essentials and the tech allies program where volunteers teach
older
adults the digital skills they need to use the internet independently.
I
have been a volunteer for almost 7 years and on the Board for 3 and
hold this organization near and dear to my heart. The
impact we have on our older adults lives through companionship and our
extraordinary programs is truly life changing for them. I was matched
with an older adult for 2 years, Raoul. We loved going to the movies,
finding new books at the library,
eating hamburgers and milkshakes, going for walks and being an open ear
without judgement for whatever we wanted to share. I am so grateful for our friendship
and time together because of the connection LBFE helped to make.
