J Hettinger Interiors Hosts Wine For Wheels Event to Grow Awareness for Wheelchair Foundation

DANVILLE, CA July 1, 2010 � J Hettinger Interiors (http://www.jhettingerinteriors.com/) Danville�s largest Interior Design firm partners with the Behring family to successfully host a Wine for Wheels charity event.

Jerry Hettinger, President and Founder of J Hettinger Interiors has supported local schools, churches and charities throughout his 30 years in the Danville showroom. With nearly 200 in attendance and over $5000 in donations, J Hettinger�s debut as host was phenomenal. �This was a great opportunity to gather the right people and the right number of people for this cause,� states Jerry. His history with the Behring family started 15 years ago with a collaboration on the North Wing of the Auto Art Museum in Blackhawk. �I was thrilled that Kenneth Behring made a personal appearance for our first hosting,� continues Jerry, who has his own plaque for purchasing wheelchair # 625 years ago.

Helping to make the event a success were local businesses that donated time, space and refreshments. Danville�s Caf� Esin, The Peasant and the Pear, Faz, Yuki of Tokyo, Danville Bakery and Danville Chocolate Shop along with The Cheesecake Factory all had tables filled with delicious edibles for crowd members to enjoy. In addition to the wines donated by attendees, Mitchell Katz winery and Wreckless Blenders were on hand to also provide samplings. Don�s Florist provided all centerpieces, Citro Salon contributed with a donation, and all of it was elegantly set up by Gignon�s Rentals who provided chairs, tables and linens. The Tarabini�s Jazz ensemble donated their time and talent inside J Hettinger�s while Lou Pagnini and his staff at neighboring David Louis Clothiers offered his space for both refreshments and live music provided by Sherman Clay-Steinway & Sons on one of their magnificent Steinway pianos.

�I couldn�t have asked for better results. Everyone involved was so helpful and generous. And my own staff was phenomenal. No conversations about work-it was all about the charity and event!� exclaimed Jerry.

Andy Erickson

Marco DiGiulio

Greg La Follette

Cathy Corison

Gerhard Reisacher

This holiday season, indulge in your passion for wine while providing a much-needed gift for someone in need. For every bottle purchased, Lookout Ridge Winery donates a wheelchair through its "Wine for Wheelchairs" program in your name (or a name you designate) to a person in desperate need of mobility.

Made by a winemaking dream-team that includes Screaming Eagle's Andy Erickson, Lokoya's Marco DiGiulio, Pinot Noir wizard Greg La Follette, and Napa icon Cathy Corison, Lookout Ridge offers the kind of "cult" quality that will not only grace your cellar or dinner table, but will also make a difference in someone's life on a daily basis.

Our portfolio of California winemaking stars is made up of the top winemakers from premier vineyards through Napa and Sonoma valleys. Motivated by the chance to "give something back," they have produced limited quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Syrah wines, generally sold only by allocation, for Lookout Ridge.

Wine for Wheels � China

June 5, 2010, the first Wine for Wheels-China Program - South African Fine Wine tasting Party was held in a Shanghai historical wine cellar.

Cooperated with 2010 Shanghai Expo South Africa Pavilion, the event got sponsorship of a nice venue by Redruby and great South African Wines by Uwine. The local popular website �Heoo.org� also propagandized the event on the website and its online community.

The guests invited included friends and partners of Wheelchair Foundation, friends of Expo South African Pavilion, and leaders from local NGOs. The event started with �Celebrating 10-year Anniversary of Wheelchair Foundation�, followed up by �Getting Closer to South Africa� and finally was the Silent Caution Result Announcement. Silent Caution was well received by most of the guest, and a total fund of 2,800RMB was raised in the end, it would be used to purchase wheelchairs, to deliver mobility, freedom and hope to the disabled in China.

Program �Wine for Wheels� is for Wine Enthusiasts dedicated to the "Fruit of the Vine" and bringing Great Wine, Fine Cuisine, and Good Friends together for the purpose of providing Wheelchairs and mobility to those in need. The Wheelchair Foundation is asking you to host a party for your friends and family or an event through you business, school or organization to help provide funding for Wheelchair Foundation mission.
