Tonight, you’re changing lives..
Every dollar you spend and donate at Cork & Barrel helps support healing for children who have experienced abuse.
Cork & Barrel is KIDS Center’s largest fundraiser. Over three days, people like you help raise more than $500,000 to help fund KIDS Center’s critical services. Thanks to your generosity, families are wrapped with services and support. Every child and family referred to KIDS Center can receive a child abuse evaluation, family advocacy, and healing therapy at no cost.
By joining us tonight, you are giving hundreds of Central Oregon children the chance to heal and experience a brighter future.
Thank you for making a difference!
HOW CORK & BARREL HELPS FAMILIES
Children need lots of support to overcome the effects of abuse.
It takes intensive interventions to help children heal from abuse. When children and their families are referred to KIDS Center, they are wrapped with services and support. Children receive an independent child abuse evaluation, which includes a forensic interview and a head-totoe medical exam. Their family is assigned a family advocate to help connect them with community resources. After the evaluation, children, their siblings, and non-offending caregivers can participate in healing therapy for as long as needed.
Without these interventions, child victims of abuse can struggle with devastating, life-long impacts: difficulty in school, poor physical and mental health, social isolation, an inability to trust, and increased risk of addiction.
Cork & Barrel helps ensure cost is never a barrier to healing.
It costs—on average—$7,600 to provide direct services to a child and their family. These costs reflect the time-consuming work of our team of highly-trained professionals, who must provide extensive documentation, preserve evidence, and coordinate with community partners.
Cork & Barrel raises close to 20% of KIDS Center’s annual budget, making it possible for families to receive these critical services at no cost.
Thanks to your generosity at Cork & Barrel, more than 400 Central Oregon children and families will start their healing journey at KIDS Center this year.
468 received child abuse evaluation services. children
96 received ongoing therapy. children, siblings, & caregivers

A gem in the heart of Stags Leap District, Silverado Vineyards gets its name from the historic Silverado Vineyard and the old mining town that looks over Napa Valley. Silverado Vineyards was one of the first to plant Cabernet in Stags Leap in the 1960s. Winemaker Allison Rodriguez is only the third winemaker in Silverado’s history, and brings years of experience working in diverse growing regions.

Silver Oak Cellars
Silver Oak started with two friends and a handshake. Their vision: focus on one varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon. Age it exclusively in American oak. And make it worthy of cellaring for decades to come. Now a national icon, Silver Oak has fueled America’s love affair with Cabernet Sauvignon. After a fire destroyed their historic Oakville winery, the owners sized the opportunity to rebuild a new, state-of-theart winery. Even though Silver Oak has marked its 50th year, the winery believes, “Our best wines are still ahead of us.”

Tête de Cuvée Champagne:
2 Bottles = Twice the Fun
A Champagne house’s “Tête de Cuvée’’ refers to their very top range of Champagne. This year’s 2-bottle Tête de Cuvée is a sublime offering of Moët & Chandon’s Dom Pérignon and Louis Roederer’s Cristal, both from the highly-acclaimed 2012 vintage. With the long aging potential of these fine wines, the recipient of these bottles of bubbly can enjoy them now—or even 10 years from now.
The Dom Pérignon and Cristal each boast exceptional scores across the board, with critics calling the 2012 Cristal “...just stunning. It’s as simple as that.” And the Dom Pérignon, “...a brilliant wine in the making…”
This lot was procured by a generous friend of KIDS Center and longtime wine collector who guarantees the provenance of these exceptional bottles.
The question remains: who will celebrate their good fortune of being the highest bidder of this year’s Tête de Cuvée Champagne lot? Uncork your generosity and say “CHEERS!”

2024 VISIONARY LEADERSHIP AWARD
Stan Fridstein
Since 2016, Stan has been intimately involved with KIDS Center and Cork & Barrel. When Stan and his wife, Gail, relocated to Bend from California, they knew they wanted to connect with a group that was making a difference for children. Once they found KIDS Center, they found their group!
As the owner of a thriving wine business, Stan was a natural fit for our Cork & Barrel Committee, where he leveraged his wine knowledge. Stan helped plan and execute many aspects of Cork & Barrel, but most notably, Stan himself put together the Wall of Wine for the past 9 years! The Wall of Wine is one of the most cherished and lucrative Live Auction packages each year, and has raised more than $85,000 for KIDS Center since it’s inception.
Stan has said, “It would feel strange for me to ask people for money, but I can ask my friends all day long to give me a few bottles of wine! Because it’s for a good cause: supporting KIDS Center and helping children.”
Thank you, Stan—and Gail!—for helping to make Cork & Barrel such an outstanding event. You have supported KIDS Center with your time, treasure, talent and kindness. On behalf of the children and families we serve, THANK YOU!
