Wine festivals work fundraising and brandraising magic for these two organizations

By Joe Boland

Davis and Danner presented the idea to the club and got the go-ahead. Davis was named chairman of the inaugural Chesapeake Virginia Wine Festival in 2010. He went on a quest to secure the location, date, sponsorships and attendance for the event with the goal to raise as much money as  possible for the rotary club that would then go to seven or eight charities, the main recipient  being the Sidney M. Oman Cancer Center at Chesapeake Regional Medical Center.
