Enjoy an evening tasting food and sampling over 150 premium wines from Spain, California and South America while helping find a cure for Adolescent Young Adult (AYA) sarcoma.  This unique event provides the opportunity to sample great boutique wines accompanied by a variety of food, and the opportunity to purchase the wines to take home…drinking wine never tasted so good.

100% of every dollar donated and raised will benefit the Adolescent Young Adult (AYA) initiative for sarcoma research at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute.

Andrea’s Sip for Life was created by Columbia Restaurant President, Richard Gonzmart, as a way to combine his love of wine with his long-time desire to find a cure for cancer.  He was especially touched by the story of Andrea Dicks Hartley, a young mother and Moffitt patient who lost her battle to sarcoma cancer in August 2006 at the age of 30. She left behind her then 2 1/2-year-old daughter.  This event was created and named in Andrea’s honor.
