5th Annual Rosé On The Bay Serves Up More Than $54,000 for KidWorks

Thanks to the generosity and compassion of a group of more than 150 remarkable women who gathered recently at the Newport Beach bayfront home of Natalie and Todd Pickup, the 5th Annual Rosé on the Bay fundraiser raised over $54,000 in support of 30-year-old nonprofit KidWorks.

This year’s donations more than doubled last year’s fundraiser that served up $24,000.

The evening showcased delicious food and Rosé wine courtesy of Zotovich Vineyards and Winery - https://www.zotovichvineyards.... – served amid inspiring views of scenic Newport Harbor.

From preschool to university, KidWorks provides students in under-resourced neighborhoods in central Santa Ana with holistic programs and experiences to become leaders both in and out of the classroom.

KidWorks goes the extra mile for the community, creating an environment for youth to unleash their potential with mentorship and leadership development resources for the entire family. Its diverse programs, coupled with intentional guidance, fuel internal growth and set KidWorks students up for a meaningful and fulfilling future and career.

For over 10 years, 100% of KidWorks seniors have graduated high school on time and continued to higher education.

Kim Bibb, luxury property specialist, was the presenting sponsor of the event. PLATINUM sponsors were KidWorks Board member Kyle Team and Sue Willett.

The Rosé on the Bay committee included Newport Beach residents Amanda Zimmerman, who is the committee chair, along with Kyle Team, Ellen Small, Heidi Mendoza, Jennifer Martin, Arlene Silvers, Sandy DeYoung, Ellen Wheeler, and Share Kline, along with Costa Mesa resident Melissa Marshall.
