Fall Food + Wine Festival In celebration and support. Each year since its inception, the Fall Food + Wine Festival has delighted guests thanks to its unmatched combination of delicious food, fine wines and dance-worthy live music. The 35th annual festival, co-hosted by Huntington Hospital and Parkway Grill on Sunday, October 27, 2019, was no exception. More than 1,500 guests converged on the grounds between Parkway Grill and Arroyo Chop House in Pasadena for this popular event. As they celebrated together, those in attendance were also making a lifesaving difference in our community: Event proceeds support the important work of Huntington Hospital Trauma Center, the largest trauma center in our region. The 2019 festival raised more than $260,000 in support of the center’s important programs and round-the-clock care for seriously injured patients. A portion of the proceeds makes Stop the Bleed training possible. Provided by our specially trained medical professionals, this training brings lifesaving knowledge and skills to local community members: Participants learn how to stop potentially fatal bleeding from a traumatic injury until emergency responders can reach the scene — improving chances of survival for the critically injured. Funds generated through the event also helped us purchase essential equipment — and supported advanced education for medical residents and nurses in our trauma center, helping to ensure the very latest knowledge and care skills. Festival patrons, sponsors and other friends are crucial partners in ensuring we can provide world-class trauma care to all who need it. We are extremely grateful for their support. Looking ahead.
The Fall Food + Wine Festival has long represented a way for members of our community to enjoy a great evening out and save lives at the same time. This year, however, we are unable to gather in person for the festival because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will miss joining with our guests, but the health and safety of our community comes first. Since there is still an urgent need for support toward important trauma care initiatives at the hospital, we will soon be launching the Fall Food + Wine Restival. Watch for more information about how you can participate and make a difference in the provision of lifesaving care for our region.
