2021 California Corks with Cade
Reproductive Science Center of the San Francisco Bay Area is proud to announce that we are once again the presenting sponsor of the Corks with Cade infertility treatment and adoption fundraising event. This is RSC’s fourth year as a Corks with Cade sponsor, and last year we raised $48,000 altogether. Our 2021 fundraising goal is $20,000. This year’s in-person event will take place on August 28, 2021.
Celebration details
This year’s celebration that benefits the Tinina Q. Cade Foundation (TQCF) will take place at Dante Robere Vineyards in Livermore, CA, from 6-9 p.m. There will be a wine tasting, food trucks, silent auction and a DJ. We are expecting 200-300 event attendees.
Tickets cost $50 and include the wine tasting, one wine glass and a $10 food truck voucher. As always, we will also honor the leaders whose work has helped families that have experienced infertility. 2021’s Family Building Champion award recipient is RSC’s Sheldon B. Josephs, FACHE.
This fundraising event helps families with infertility grow
All of the proceeds from the Corks with Cade event will go toward the Tinina Q. Cade Foundation’s Family Building Grants. These funds are allocated for the costs of infertility treatments or adoption.
2019’s winner of the Tinina Q. Cade Foundation’s Family Building Grant was Jenafer Ramirez of Sacramento. Jenafer and her partner tried to conceive naturally for several years without success. After applying for and being awarded the Family Building Grant, her second round of in vitro fertilization (IVF) was successful. In October of 2020 they welcomed their son, R.J. She is incredibly grateful to the Cade Foundation and RSC for all of their continued support, time and attention.
