Off the Vine Gala and Auction is proud to announce that proceeds from the 2008 Wine Gala will benefit two community organizations committed to enriching the lives of families and children of East Texas. The original and founding beneficiary is All Saints Episcopal School. In 2008, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the East Texas Crisis Center.

All Saints Episcopal School is an independent college preparatory school (4K-12) that develops excellence in academics, fine arts and athletics, while encouraging students to achieve their maximum potential within an environment that embraces diversity, fosters leadership, encourages service and nurtures spiritual growth.

All Saints Episcopal School is nurturing generations of leaders. However, tuition dollars only cover 80% of the school's operating budget and the remainder must be accomplished by fundraising.  Students lead by contributing to various community organizations such as the Good Samaritan Foundation, American Red Cross, Mercy Ships, PATH, the East Texas Food Bank, Susan G. Komen, Samaritan's Purse, Habitat for Humanity, among others. To see their contributions, please view our Community Service Powerpoint. The powerpoint presentation requires 2003 version of PowerPoint, or it will not view correctly.

The East Texas Crisis Center is a non-profit organization established in 1978 with a mission dedicated to providing safety, shelter, counseling and education to victims of family violence and sexual assault. The agency is committed to restoring dignity and purpose in the lives of victims while promoting public compassion and awareness to reduce violence in the community.

We invite you to join us for this extraordinary event.
