CREW Wine-Tasting Event Draws Crowd

By Carrie Rossenfeld

SAN DIEGO—More than 140 industry women and men attended CREW San Diego’s wine-tasting/fundraiser event at the Grand Del Mar Golf Club here last week. GlobeSt.com was on the scene as the organization raised money for its foundation.

In addition to networking opportunities, attendees were treated to tastings of several different wines as well as hors d’oeuvres. Raffle winners were announced for prizes ranging from exercise classes to goods and other services. A silent auction for gift baskets, jewelry, vacations and a plethora of other goodies was held, the proceeds of which went toward the organization’s CREW Network Foundation.

Special events held periodically raise several thousands of dollars a year for the CREW Foundation, which was founded in 1998 as the philanthropic arm of CREW Network. CREW Network Foundation is the only foundation dedicating its resources solely towards advancing women in the commercial real estate industry, and it is committed to bringing more women into commercial real estate with programs that educate women and girls about the career opportunities available to them and creating mentoring relationships for those new to the industry.
