FUNDRAISER 
Livermore, CA – The LARPD Foundation invites the community to attend the 5th Annual Wine 
Down in the Grove fundraiser on Friday, June 26, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the 
Ravenswood Historic Site in Livermore. 
The annual event brings together community members, local businesses, and supporters for an 
evening of food, wine, beer, live music, and fundraising in support of parks, recreation, and 
scholarship programs throughout the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District. 
The evening will feature dinner catered by On the Vine Catering, wine and beer tastings from 
local producers, live music by Tim Gomes, a silent auction, and a live auction led by Marc 
Roberts. 
"The support we receive through Wine Down in the Grove helps expand access to recreation 
opportunities for individuals and families throughout our community," said Dave Muela, LARPD 
Foundation President. "Whether it's helping provide scholarships, supporting programs and 
events, or enhancing parks and open spaces, this event allows us to make a meaningful impact 
across the district." 
The LARPD Foundation's mission is to improve the quality of life throughout the Livermore Area 
Recreation and Park District through advocacy, collaboration, and financial assistance, primarily 
focused on providing recreation opportunities for underserved community members and 
enhancing parks and open space. 
The fundraiser has become one of the Foundation's signature annual events. Proceeds from 
Wine Down in the Grove help fund scholarships, recreation programs, senior events, and 
projects that enhance parks and open space throughout the community. In 2025, Foundation 
support helped provide 274 program scholarships and 161 swim lesson sessions, reducing 
barriers to participation and expanding access to recreational opportunities.
