(November 8, 2017 — Santa Rosa, CA) — On December 3, 2017, Rise Up Sonoma will bring together iconic Sonoma County wineries, Chefs, and legendary music stars to benefit those deeply affected by the tragic Sonoma County fires.

“These are our friends and family, and this is our community,” says Chef Dustin Valette. “Lives have been permanently altered and I want to help in the best way I know how. We’ve assembled exceptional restaurant teams from San Francisco and Sonoma County to create an amazing and delicious night of giving.”

The loss of life, homes, and businesses was devastating for so many. Some facts that show the impact of the North Bay fires:

  • More than 160,000 acres—or 250 square miles—have burned in Sonoma, Napa, and Solano counties. 
  • Forty-three people have died across Northern California, including 23 in Sonoma County alone. As of last week, dozens of people were still missing. Altogether, the Northern California fires are the deadliest in the state’s history. 
  • Cal Fire tally of Sonoma County’s three simultaneous fires last month reported close to 9,000 structures were destroyed, and 5,500 homes that were completely destroyed, with an additional 4,000 partially burned. The Tubbs fire alone destroyed 4,658 homes in the Santa Rosa‑area, including Fountaingrove, Coffey Park, Larkfield and a number of rural neighborhoods, a fact worsened by the Bay Area’s already dire housing crisis. Those who can afford to rebuild their homes face a labor shortage and steep labor costs.
  • The state commissioner estimated that losses have topped $3 billion, and that number is expected to increase. The fire now ranks as the state’s most destructive, and damage from Sonoma County’s three have made it the costliest in U.S. history.

“I’ve been personally affected, but I did not lose everything. I immediately jumped at the chance to join my winery friends to help,” says Mike Sullivan, Benovia Winery. “The best part of the wine industry is the generosity that runs through it. We will rebuild, help those in dire need and become a stronger community because of this adversity.”

The wine and food community are joining together to create an incredible night to raise money and awareness for those who have lost so much.
