Jackson Family Wines CEO Rick Tigner commented, “We’re proud to support The Six Foundation, and the first responders of Sonoma County, who have been instrumental in keeping our communities safe. We understand the importance of keeping these men and women in good health and having access to the care they need through organizations such as The Six Foundation.”
Sonya McVay, Founder of The Six Foundation stated, “Our communities rely on these guardians every day to keep us healthy and safe.” She continues, “The Six Foundation was founded on the belief that one who puts their life on the line for their community, deserves a community to provide care back. If a professional sports player gets a team of treatment professionals, so does the fire fighter who saved my home, the veteran who fought for my freedom, the law enforcement officer who protects my streets and the people that took those calls. The Six Foundation is here to make sure our first responders have a place to get treatment and to stay healthy and safe.”
