Following the Wine Auction, we offer two different marketing opportunities for your company. We will email all attendees with a link to your website, or preferred url, as well as include a special offer or promo for your company if you choose. This will happen immediately following the event. Additionally, we will also include your company in our May Newsletter emailed to our 12k+ database, letting our community know you participated in the event and played a big role in supporting our public schools. Please let us know if you want us to include a promo to the larger audience, specific link, and/or additional information.

Let us know if you have any questions or comments. Feel free to reach out to our Director of Events, Heather Epps, at any time. 310-780-0145 mobile or heather.epps@smedfoundation.org
