Team OCGente found out about Wine to Water from the 2009 CNN’s Heroes. We are honored to announce that Renowned chef Michael Flores will donate his time by catering a wine tasting event dedicated to the organization and anticipates up to 100 guests in attendance.
Michael Flores has taken a childhood passion for cooking and turned it into an evolving lifelong profession in the culinary arts. Despite his formal training at the Culinary Institute of America, Michael focuses on providing simple solutions for encouraging families to get back to the table.
“As a child I learned about ‘giving’ simply by watching my parents; they’ve always shared their time and resources with others,” said Michael. He added, “I am excited to have been invited to create the food for this incredible evening on February 27th. I’m honored to cook at this event that Lynn Nicklo has created.”
“We are excited to be able to enlist the help of chef Michael Flores to further our cause,” said Lynn Nicklo, the fundraiser organizer.
Wine to Water is a non-profit organization which focuses on raising awareness to the water crisis, often through events. Funds from these events and private parties go toward water projects around the world. Wine to Water encourages people to join the cause by hosting their own private wine parties or public events to raise awareness for water-related deaths and diseases. They also offer many ideas for involvement, such as hosting benefit concerts, 5K races, and fundraising dinners.
“Our mission is to provide clean water to needy people around the world and we could not begin to reach our goals without people like Lynn and Michael,” Wine To Water Founder, Doc Hendley said. “I want to thank Lynn Nicklo for planning the details of this event, as well as Michael Flores for offering his amazing talent by providing delicious food for the evening.”
Wine to Water has worked to provide clean water and sanitation in many countries including India, Cambodia, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Haiti. Thousands of lives have been saved through the organization’s dedication to implementing clean water systems around the world.
While bartending in Raleigh, North Carolina in 2003, founder Doc Hendley had the idea of providing access to clean water for needy people around the world. He decided to use wine, a symbol of fortune, to give fortunate people an opportunity to help those who lack access to clean water. In 2004, his dream turned into a reality and Hendley’s vision of fighting the water epidemic has become the goal of Wine to Water.
