MURPHY-GOODE supports American Troops and their families with 2011 Homefront Red, $15. Known by its mantra, "Give Goode. Do Goode," winemaker MURPHY-GOODE stands by its word once again by supporting American Military families by sponsoring and raising money for Operation Homefront. Operation Homefront is a non-profit organization that honors our active-duty soldiers and veterans by supporting their families with emergency financial assistance.
Located in the beautiful and acclaimed Alexander Valley region of Sonoma County, Murphy-Goode is a family-owned winery known for award-winning California wines spanning Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay to Pinot Noir, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. Founded by Tim Murphy, Dale Goode and David Ready Sr. in 1985 and now part of Jackson Family Wines, Murphy-Goode believes in great wines and good times with family and friends. During this holiday season, the winery is proud to support Operation Homefront and its work with wounded warriors and the families of service members.
Since its inception in 2002, Operation Homefront has provided more than $128 million dollars in funding to programs to benefit military families. You may find more information on the Operation Homefront Website.
“My family has a long military background dating back to World War I, where my great grandfather Bill Ready served in the Army. They were proud to serve our grea
t country and would all be excited about helping our returning soldiers that gave so much for us.” - David Ready Jr., Winemaker, MURPHY-GOODE
Operation Homefront leads more than 5,000 volunteers across 23 field offices and has met more than 590,000 needs since 2002 . A four-star rated charity by watchdog Charity Navigator, nationally, 94% of total revenue donated to Operation Homefront goes to programs. This is a highly limited release. A portion of the proceeds from each bottle purchased will be donated to Operation Homefront.
“This is a simple but meaningful way for us to show how much we appreciate what American service members do for our nation,” said Cory Jones, the wine company’s senior vice president and national sales manager, himself a Marine veteran and one of four brothers, all of whom served proudly. “I understand firsthand the hardship and commitment serving our country puts on our troops, but more importantly their family members. As a company we’re honored to recognize the sacrifice made by our military, and I know my fellow veterans in our organization share my excitement for this initiative.”
Very inspirational! cheers to business and philanthropy! I even received a special dogtag thumbdrive. Smart packaging from a smart, caring winery. Cheers!
