Wine Against CRC
Welcome to Wine Against CRC!
Building on the success of the Ride Against CRC, we are thrilled to introduce the Wine Against CRC event, a unique gathering for both riders and non-riders alike. Set in the picturesque Livermore area in the fall of 2024, this event promises an enriching experience combining the joy of wine tasting with a mission to fight colorectal cancer.
Our Journey:
The original Ride Against CRC, inspired by Spencer, a terminal Stage IV colorectal cancer patient and passionate advocate, began as a way to support the colorectal cancer community. Spencer’s love for motorcycles and his commitment to Fight Colorectal Cancer (FightCRC) catalyzed this annual event, uniting the community to raise funds and awareness to combat this disease​.
What to Expect:
Wine Against CRC will retain the spirit of camaraderie and community from the motorcycle ride but introduces a serene setting among vineyards where attendees can enjoy wine tasting, delicious food, and live music. The event will also feature a raffle with exciting prizes, ensuring that everyone has a chance to win while supporting a noble cause.
​
