STEPPING UP FOR A CAUSE

Wine Women & Shoes Sarasota pairs fashion and philanthropy for a cause that changes lives. Benefiting Forty Carrots Family Center, the annual event has become a staple on Sarasota’s social calendar and a powerful fundraising engine for the organization.

Since 2017, Grapevine Communications has been part of that story. With CEO Allison Imre serving as an event chair and our team leading theme development and creative execution, Grapevine helps shape the experience guests, sponsors and supporters encounter throughout the event.

Every piece works together to create a seamless experience for attendees while delivering value for sponsors and supporters.

Whether guests are shopping, bidding, sipping or celebrating, they encounter a thoughtfully designed event that helps Wine Women & Shoes Sarasota continue raising critical funds for Forty Carrots Family Center.
