Sip With Purpose

Sip With Purpose

Sip with purpose and join the fight against cancer. Everyone has been affected by cancer in one way or another. Bricoleur Vineyards is dedicated to making a difference.

Bricoleur’s Co-Founder, Sarah, is one of the 4 million people in the U.S. affected by breast cancer, including survivors, those currently undergoing treatment, and those who have completed it. We are proud to support organizations like The V Foundation, The American Cancer Society, and Cycle for Survival, whose efforts advance cancer research, promote early testing, and improve access to new treatments.


Since her breast cancer diagnosis in April 2023, Sarah has completed chemotherapy, radiation, a double mastectomy, and two reconstructive surgeries. As her journey continues with precautionary measures, she remains a strong advocate for early cancer testing and fundraising for cancer research.

Since Sarah’s diagnosis, the Hanson-Citron Family and Bricoleur Vineyards have donated over $102,000 through our Sip With Purpose campaign to organizations like The V Foundation, The American Cancer Society, and Cycle for Survival.

Bricoleur Vineyards will donate $5 to the V Foundation for cancer research for every bottle of Isla Rose Brut Rosé purchased. Additionally, for every case purchased, the founders of Bricoleur Vineyards will match the $60 donation.

Bricoleur Vineyards has been dedicated to supporting cancer research foundations and will continue to raise awareness.

Donate to the V Foundation

The founders have been connected to the V Foundation through the Sonoma Epicurean since 2022. They learned about a clinical trial called I-SPY 2 directly from the V Foundation. This trial targets hormones that some forms of breast cancer feed off of. Sarah recently completed this trial and it was successful in shrinking her cancer by 40%.

The V Foundation for Cancer Research was founded by ESPN and legendary basketball coach Jim Valvano with one goal in mind: to achieve Victory Over Cancer®.

Since its formation in 1993, the V Foundation has awarded over $310 million in cancer research grants nationwide and has grown to become one of the premier supporters of cutting-edge cancer research. Due to generous donors, the Foundation has an endowment that covers administrative expenses.

EVENTS THAT GIVE BACK

Show your support for cancer research by joining us at these upcoming events.

According to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, and this rate continues to rise. However, thanks to the efforts of organizations like ACS, the V Foundation, and Cycle for Survival, breast cancer death rates have dropped by 42% since 1989, with continued progress through 2021.


Through Bricoleur’s Sip With Purpose initiative, we remain committed to funding cancer research, supporting treatment advancements, and advocating for the importance of early testing.
