Gala set for Friday night
By: North County Times | ∞
ESCONDIDO ---- The Escondido-based Quad Foundation and Orfila Wineries will present "Taking the Next Step" fund-raiser Friday night.
A brief that ran in Thursday's paper incorrectly stated the day the gala would be held.
The event at Orfila Vineyards is a fine food and wine pairing with proceeds going to programs to benefit survivors of spinal cord injuries resulting in quadriplegia.
The evening begins with a "Meet the Experts" mixer from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Wine, food pairing and a silent auction will take place from 6 to 9:30 p.m.
The keynote speaker will be Mark Tuszynski of UC San Diego, who will present his research ---- the first-ever proven example of spinal cord axonal growth. Chefs from local restaurants will create their specialty selections and music will be provided by the Peter Pavone Quintet.
Orfila Vineyards is located at 13455 San Pasqual Road, Escondido. A tax-deductible donation of $125 is required. For registration and information, visit www.quadfoundation.org.
