Tickets are on sale now for the 21st Annual Wine and Food Under the Stars event that has raised more than $200,000 for nursing scholarships over the past eight years, which will be held on Thursday, Oct. 9, from 6 to 9pm at the National Orange Show Event Center Lagoon in San Bernardino. The event is sponsored through a partnership between the foundations of the National Orange Show (NOS) and St. Bernardine Medical Center (SBMC). Some of the finest vineyards in the Pacific Rim and restaurants throughout the Inland Empire will offer sumptuous fare for the 700 people expected to attend this year's event. In addition to a variety of fine wine and food, the event Over the past eight years, the Annual Wine and Food Under the Stars events have raised more than $200,000 for nursing scholarships. calls attention to the ongoing nationwide nursing shortage that is particularly acute here in California, which is ranked the lowest of all 50 states in the number of nurses per 100,000 population. Worse yet, the Inland Empire's figure is below average within California. Yet, the NOS/SBMC partnership is making a difference. Overall, the SBMC medical careers promotion program has awarded 93 scholarships, 35 of them funded by the jointly sponsored annual Wine and Food event. “The impact of this now eight-year partnership between our two foundations has been to provide scholarships for recipients in Nursing programs for most area young people who want to pursue careers as registered nurses,” SBMC Foundation chairman Tom Brickley said. “Without this partnership, these young people might very well have been denied the opportunity to become nurses, and denying the community their talent and caring for decades to come.” “Wine and Food Under the Stars is The National Orange Show Foundation’s stellar contribution to the Inland Empire,” NOS Foundation chairman Wilfrid C. Lemann said. “Since its inceptions nearly two decades ago, The National Orange Show Foundation had distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to aspiring nurses in Inland Area college programs. We now have practicing nurses serving local health care facilities who would otherwise not be there but for the success of Wine and Food Under the Stars.” The brainchild of Martin Matich and Bill Leonard, The National Orange Show Foundation will honor the founders at this year’s event. The NOS Foundation is an Inland institution serving Southern California for nearly 100 years. For more information contact NOS Events Director Derrick Vasquez at (909) 888-6788 ext. 411.
