Wines in the Wild Sponsors Enjoy Brunch Cruise

As a thank you for their support of Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation’s signature fundraising event Wines in the Wild, sponsors were treated to a brunch cruise aboard the Lady Chadwick on Sunday, Oct. 29.

“We had a spectacular time on the water celebrating our sponsors who are supporting SCCF’s mission to protect and care for Southwest Florida’s coastal ecosystems,” said Wines in the Wild co-founder Linda Uhler. “It was a wonderful way to thank them while enjoying the natural beauty of our islands.”

Both sponsorships and tickets sold out more quickly than ever for SCCF’s 14th annual Wines in the Wild fundraiser on Nov. 17.

“We are thrilled with the community response to our traditional welcome back event,” said SCCF Events Manager Jeff Siwicke. “It’s clear that our friends and neighbors are eager to get together and enjoy a very special evening under the stars.”

With a total of 46 sponsors, SCCF is thrilled to announce community-wide support from:
