The Monique Burr Foundation for Children (MBF) announces the fifth annual A Night in the Vineyard, in partnership with SoNapa Grille and Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC), 6-9 p.m. Tuesday, April 7, at SoNapa Grille, 2400 3rd St. South, Jacksonville Beach.

“A Night in the Vineyard is a wonderful event and holds a special place in my heart,” said Edward Burr, MBF founder and board chairman. “It is incredibly moving to witness our community come together for a shared purpose and mission — to keep children safe from child abuse.”

The signature charity event commemorates Child Abuse Prevention Month and raises support for MBF’s life-saving prevention education programs. Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring live musical entertainment, live and silent auctions, gourmet cuisine by SoNapa Grille and curated wine pairings — all in support of MBF’s mission to keep children and teens safe.

Thanks to the generosity of donors and supporters, MBF Prevention Education Programs reached more than 18 million children this past year, empowering youth with the tools they need to protect themselves and others.

General admission tickets are $160 per person and must be purchased in advance at www.anightinthevineyard.com. Tickets include event entry, wine tastings, gourmet food, cocktails, access to live and silent auctions, live entertainment and complimentary valet parking.

All proceeds from A Night at the Vineyard directly support MBF and its Prevention Education Programs — comprehensive, evidence-based personal safety curricula that educate and empower children and teens to prevent, recognize and respond appropriately to child abuse, bullying, online dangers, human trafficking and other forms of child victimization.
