The event was virtual, but the giving was very real: nearly 300 attendees raised $407,000 for COVID-19 research at MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital in the first ever virtual Corks & Crush event.
Hosted by the Good Samaritan Foundation,participants followed a live broadcast of the event and tasted their wine and food from the safety and comfort of home. Attendees were creative in how they set up their homes for the festivities.
The giving was inspired by the video story of Tammy Edwards, an RN at MultiCare, and her husband, Brian, as they shared his tale of COVID-19 recovery and survival.
