Proteus Inc.: 2nd Annual The Journey of a Farmworker

Join us for a night of great wine, food, friends & colleagues.  Each sip is a journey through our bountiful orchards - a celebration of agricultural heritage!

ANDRES CHAVEZ
Andres Chavez, grandson of Cesar Chavez and executive director of the National Chavez Center (NCC), leads the arm of the Cesar Chavez Foundation that educates and promotes his grandfather’s legacy across the nation. He also oversees two historic properties, including La Paz in Keene, Calif., where Chavez lived and labored his last quarter century, a portion of which is now the César E. Chávez National Monument that the NCC manages in partnership with the National Park Service

About Cesar Chavez Foundation
The Cesar Chavez Foundation is committed to serving the long-term needs of Latinos and working families, and we are able to do this because we are self-sustainable—a value driven by Cesar Chavez himself, whose life’s work was to encourage self-sustainability in individuals and communities. We raise funds through several social enterprises, which simultaneously provide crucial services to our target communities.

Cesar’s legacy around self-sustainability is imbued in the entire organization: our leaders and staff see themselves as social entrepreneurs invested in providing crucial and transformative community services while remaining sustainable, strategic and fiscally responsible.

Cesar Chavez Art & Poetry Contest
This year we will be incorporating the Cesar Chavez Art & Poetry Contest at the wine tasting.  Students will be present with their artwork for you to view and bid on at the auction.
