WineFest – A Toast to Children’s Health has provided me with an amazing gift this year. I am passionate about giving back to University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital. As honorary chair of WineFest No. 23, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to build awareness in the community on behalf of the patients and families who look to Masonic Children’s Hospital for hope and healing.
I have grown closer to the mission by joining the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital Corporate Advisory Council, which has inspired me to work harder to share the great work of the hospital with our Twin Cities community.
Through my efforts at Cambria as a Business Development Director, Masonic Children’s Hospital has been a natural integration in my daily conversations. In addition, my family has a strong history of involvement with the University of Minnesota – from my grandfather Lou Nanne, to my mother Michelle Lettieri. It has been fantastic to keep my Golden Gopher spirit alive!
As a family that suffered a heartbreaking loss when my uncle passed away from cancer, it has been important for us to support efforts such as this one. University of Minnesota Health supports patients young and old suffering from cancer and other life-threatening diagnoses. The icing on the cake for me was the number of this WineFest: 23. It was my grandfather’s jersey number when he played for the Minnesota North Stars. The “Stars” aligned and I am ready to create a bigger Uof M Masonic Children's Hospital community. I cannot wait to see you at WineFest 23. Ciao!
