Grace Place AP Leaders, Yesica and Alex, and Don Grandi, Grace Place Board Member at the 2015 Meet the Kids Day
The Naples Children & Education Foundation (NCEF,) founders of the Naples Winter Wine Festival and one of the country’s premier wine fundraisers, kicked-off this year’s Festival with its Meet the Kids Day! The morning allowed NCEF trustees to do just that, “meet the kids,” from the charities their generous investments support.
Two of our AP Leaders, Yesica and Alex, attended the Friday morning occasion and did a phenomenal job engaging with these patrons. They articulated the impact Grace Place has had on their lives and showed their sincere appreciation to these individuals whose goodwill has helped them to pursue their dreams and succeed academically.
This year’s Naples Winter Wine Festival, “Imagine the Possibilities,” raised more than $12.3 million dollars, which will provide funding to charities, including Grace Place that serve children at-risk in our community.
We are incredibly grateful to receive support for the first year from such a worthy organization and are so proud of Yesica and Alex for sharing their stories about how Grace Place has changed their educational paths.
