s we planned Cheers for Charity 2025, we thought about the journey that you join us on each year to create a better community in our hometown. Together, we have embarked on a mission: to celebrate a spirit of giving that opens doors to the world. is year, we invite you to join us on a new adventure with the most interesting travelers and fun-loving companions.

Our dinner will feature an amazing selection of exquisite wines paired with a masterpiece menu of international creations by Chef Rocco. is culinary tour will oer passion in every sip and bliss in every bite. If we could travel into the future, we would certainly hope that our destination would be a place where every child felt safe, well-nourished and believed in their own future. Unfortunately, we are not there yet. Current events, news stories, and statistics tell us that we have a long way to go before we arrive at this place. We are honored to partner with local organizations that are providing the services and opportunities necessary for children and families to realize their dreams. We are proud of the results that our community partners are achieving. With your help, we have provided hundreds of beds for displaced children, over one hundred wheelchairs for disabled children, scholarships, thousands of meals, medical treatments and even birthday parties. Our partners are committed to breaking the cycles of abuse and poverty through education, ending homelessness and providing compelling futures for at risk children. We are grateful for your trust and support. We look forward to taking this journey with you as we make the world a better place. A

VINTNERSAs we travel the world with this year’s event, we’ll do so with our wine as well! We’re thrilled to be pouring you wines from Burgundy as well as one of our new favorites from Paso Robles. Our heartfelt thanks go to the wine producers who generously provide their time and exceptional wines to Cheers for Charity. Enjoy their premium wines at our event and consider supporting them through their wine clubs or by purchasing their exclusive, limited-release vintages. e are excited to introduce you to Charles Liu, the owner of SÉDUIRE, who will join us to share his wines and his passion. ese wines began as a vision by husband-and-wife team, Charles and Lara Liu, who dreamed of craing wines on par with the best wines they experienced in the Rhône appellations of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage. Sadly, just three years aer setting their dream in motion, Lara was diagnosed with ALS. Lara fought her battle with the disease for nearly six years before passing away in February 2020. As a promise to Lara before her passing, Charles continued planting more vines to fully realize their dream of producing world class wines.In early-2023, Charles met Julia Fuller, an architect and interior designer by day, wine nerd by night. Julia eventually le her highly successful, 20-year career and moved to Paso to help Charles build the vision of SÉDUIRE Wine.Today, Charles and Julia remain committed to Lara’s legacy. All of their wines come from their 22-acre hilltop estate in the Willow Creek District, where they believe meticulous farming and care is the recipe for great wine. SÉDUIRE is named aer the French word meaning “to seduce,” and these are seductive, sexy wines. Tami believes the Róse is the perfect Florida summer wine. Ron is condent that you will nd the Grenache to be a rich, elegant wine that pairs perfectly with food or to celebrate a special moment. We are certain that you will love Charles and Julia and their spectacular wines!W

rom the Burgundy village of Chassagne-Montrachet, the wines of Domaine Blain-Gagnard are produced by the husband-and-wife team of Jean-Marc Blain and Claudine Gagnard. Both are from multi-generational winemaking families in Burgundy dating as far back as 1683. Founded in 1980, they control 20.5 acres of vineyard with vines planted from 1932-1969. Considered some of the village’s greatest hillsides, these vines produce exceptional fruit that receives minimal intervention and new oak inuence. eir wines are precise with purity of fruit, balanced acidity and long, clean avors. ey are one of our favorites! e were introduced to Maxime, the owner of Domaine Maxime Dubuet-Boillet, on our last visit to France. Considered to be one of the young superstars of Burgundy, he was one of the nalists for winemaker of the year in 2024. Aer growing up in a multi-generational winemaking family, Maxime has committed to producing precise and harmonious wines while respecting the environment and family tradition. We were very impressed with Maxime and his 2022 Carelle sous la Chapelle, a wine from old vines planted in the 1940s and 1950s. As with most ne Burgundies, availability is extremely limited so we were thrilled that Maxime agreed to sell us enough to share with you!WF

from the desk ofThe Broadrick Foundie Broadrick Family Foundation was created to help support local charities that are committed to serving children, families, and those in need within our community. Over the past eight years, with your generosity, we have raised over $6 million through our Cheers for Charity event. 100% of that money has been put to work to feed hungry children, reduce teenage homelessness, provide mobility to challenged children, keep siblings together in the foster system, send disadvantaged children to summer camp, and provide school uniforms to low income students.While we are proud of what we have accomplished, there is still much to be done. With that thought in mind, Cheers for Charity 2025 will continue our commitment to well-managed, passionate, local organizations that share our desire to help the most vulnerable.Last year was our best ever, as we enjoyed a perfect evening under the stars with one hundred friends, old and new. With the help and generosity of these amazing people, we raised over $1.3 million. We enjoyed stunning wines from Napa and Sonoma, perfectly paired with some of the nest food in Tampa Bay. We can’t wait for you to see what we have in store this year!We continue to be honored by your friendship and support. We are humbled by those of you who have been with us from the beginning, and we are thrilled for those of you who will join us for the rst time this year. As we watch the daily events in our society, it sometimes seems impossible to make a dierence. e fact is, it is hard, but denitely not impossible. When we get to see the face of a child who gets their rst wheelchair, or hear the story of a once-homeless teenager who now has an education and a successful career, we can see the possibilities. Our goal is to change at-risk to at-hope. Aer all, without hope there is nothing. We continue to support primarily children’s causes that focus on a safe place to live, nutrition, special needs and education. Our vision for the children of Tampa Bay is that every child is happy, healthy and ready for their future. We are grateful for your help and are condent that you will be proud of what your generosity has accomplished. ank you for your help and your trust.

Last year, you will remember that we selected e Heart Gallery as the recipient of our Cheers for Charity Fund A Need. We asked you to support their eorts in getting more Foster Children connected with their Forever Family. Aer a tearful presentation punctuated by the faces of those children on your auction paddles, you responded in grand style! We raised $400,000!!Since the event, we have been working with the leadership of e Heart Gallery to continue increasing the number of children matched for adoption. Our goal was to make this a long-term solution. A previous grant from our Foundation had provided additional sta to recruit potential adoptive parents. While this proved to be very successful, it increased the total sta to six full-time team members working in just over 600 square feet! Due to space limitations, training for potential adoptive parents was being outsourced to the Children’s Network of Hillsborough County. is proved problematic as the goal of the Children’s Network is to recruit foster parents not adoptive parents. Consequently, potential candidates were lost. To remedy this issue, Heart Gallery needed to acquire the certication to perform this training in-house and the additional space to provide the classes. Aer much discussion, we believe this solution will provide the best outcome with established goals of increasing the number of qualied and trained families 75% in year one and 50% thereaer, eectively increasing the number of adoptions 20% annually. e money that we raised will be spread over four years to maximize the impact on the Heart Gallery and result in the largest number of increased adoptions. We will continue to work with their leadership to ensure success. charting new courses,cause  
