SAY, which stands for Social Advocates for Youth, came into existence in 1971 thanks to a coalition of influential members from the Sonoma County community. The primary objective behind its establishment was to offer a favorable substitute to juvenile hall for young individuals who had run away from home.
Since its establishment, SAY has made a profound impact on more than 50,000 youngsters between the ages of 5 and 24. Throughout the passage of time, SAY has consistently enhanced its program approach through constant evaluation and optimization.
In order to disrupt patterns of mistreatment and despair, a comprehensive approach consisting of three key elements is employed: providing stable housing, offering counseling services, and fostering career opportunities. The objective: Empowering resilient and capable youth to conquer life's obstacles and seize opportunities.
How the Fundraiser Works
Russian River Vineyards has specifically chosen three of its highest quality wines to serve as a means of raising funds for SAY. These wines include the 2018 Stainless Steel Petersen Vineyard Chardonnay, the 2016 Stony Point Pinot Noir, and the 2018 Gianna May Rosé of Pinot Noir. Within the RRV e-commerce platform, each of these wines has been uniquely labeled as a special product, allowing individuals who wish to support SAY to easily make a donation by purchasing these select items. The best part is that when these products are purchased, the entire revenue generated from their sales is contributed to SAY.
