Tips for Change

On Monday, August 2nd, Gianni’s
Bistro in Danville generously opened
their doors for the annual “Tips for
Change” fundraiser. With DSCBA
staff as the servers, diners enjoyed
some of the finest Italian food in the
Valley, and all tips, plus a percentage
of sales, were donated to the
DSCBA. A total of $3,340 was raised.
THANK YOU to all who dined in or
ordered take out, and to Gianni’s
Bistro for the continued support!

three renowned California wineries for
a Virtual Winetasting Series. Duckhorn
Portfolio, Rombauer Vineyards and
Cakebread Cellars each provided a
live interactive wine-tasting experience
via Zoom. Participants received a wine
shipment prior to the event so they
could taste along and interact with wine
specialists who shared vineyard history,
wine-making stories, tasting highlights and
food-pairing suggestions. DSCBA netted
$11,212 through 112 tickets and donations.
