Five Years. One Purpose. It's All for The Kids.

Sunder Subbaroyan & Annette Sherbeyn, Mike & Myra Daniel, and Nate & Tawny Stoffregen bring leadership, generosity, flavor, flair, and heart to one of the Quad Cities’ most anticipated evenings – Eat, Drink & Be Giving. This fabulous group doesn’t just know good wine and great food—they know how to throw a party with purpose.

Thanks to their generosity and gracious hosting (and maybe a few legendary wine pours), they’ve helped raise over $715,000 over the past four years to provide vision care and glasses to Quad Cities kids who need it most. Their commitment to creating both an exceptional experience and lasting impact is the reason this event continues to inspire and grow.

We invite you to join them once again in celebration of taste and purpose, as we uncork possibility and pour opportunity into the lives of families—fueling student success throughout our community. Proceeds support United Way Quad Cities’ demonstrated success at improving attendance, academic performance, and social-emotional development for thousands of local students.
